Grant Beach is sand-free
Grant Beach was named after Grant Avenue and a lake that acted as the community beach. Although the neighborhood no longer has sandy shores, the swimming pool in Grant Beach Park gives residents a summer destination to enjoy together. Locals can spend hours walking around the park, exploring the Railroad Historical Museum or volunteering at one of the community gardens. “Some people we’ve rented homes to seek out areas like Grant Beach. There’s more of a city life feel with all the old buildings and being close to the art scene downtown,” says Stepanie Tilton Reid, a Realtor with Sturdy Real Estate who has over 21 years of experience. When residents want an adventure outside the neighborhood, they travel 2 miles south to downtown Springfield.
Grant Beach is located just north and west of downtown Springfield.

Short drives and CU Transit rides
The Grant Beach neighborhood is 2 miles north of downtown Springfield, so residents only have about a 5-minute drive when they need to commute to work or celebrate the Birthplace of Route 66 Festival. Others can be at Springfield-Branson National Airport after a 12-minute drive. CU Transit buses run through the neighborhood for those who prefer public transportation. Cyclists might ride along the bike lane that stretches down West Nichols Street.

Ordering barbecue at Pappy's Place
“I’ve heard lots of feedback about people liking being close to downtown, the breweries and the artistic flair downtown has,” Reid says. Pappy’s Place on the corner of West Nichols Street and North Main Avenue has been serving juicy barbecue and live music since 1926. Some grab a burger for lunch at Lindberg’s Tavern on West Commercial Street or catch up with friends over brunch at Big Momma’s Coffee & Espresso Bar. Residents can also head north to the Price Cutter when they need to stock up on groceries. Dollar General sits along West Division Street for last-minute needs.

Bungalows on every corner
As one of Springfield’s older neighborhoods, home prices are generally lower in nearby areas. “I've met neighbors who grew up in the area and lived there forever, and they’re proud of their street,” Reid says. Bungalows, duplexes and Craftsman-style homes spend less than a month on the market and can sell for $135,000 to almost $300,000. Most feature paved driveways for uncovered parking, so residents don’t have to worry about parked cars clogging the slim streets. Grant Beach residents also live in homes with wide front porches, two bedrooms and large front yards. Skinny sidewalks with grass growing through the cracks run throughout the neighborhood for locals to use during a morning jog or while walking furry friends. “Springfield has multiple grants to help first-time homeowners with closing costs and existing residents with renovations,” says Amanda Gold, owner of Exceed Homes with Keller Williams who grew up in the Springfield area.
Bungalows and craftsman style homes add variety to the architecture found in Grant Beach.
