A historic neighborhood near downtown
With century-old homes surrounded by two commercial areas, Midtown Springfield is a residential community that links the city's past to its present. "Midtown is just a great historical neighborhood that has great bookends. It's got Drury University to the south, which is a great campus to stroll around," says Rusty Worley, Executive Director of the Downtown Springfield Association. "On the north side, there's the Commercial Street area, which has roots back to the 1880s. It also has a great selection of local restaurants." The small college-town vibe on the south side of the neighborhood transitions into downtown just a few blocks away. The community's population is a mix of long-time residents, young families and people who study or work at Drury. Residents can easily access shopping and dining, local parks and major employers like Cox North Hospital and the city government.
Shopping and dining on Historic C-StreetThe Commercial Street Historic District
On the north side of Midtown, The Commercial Street Historic District, known simply as C-Street, is lined with locally owned shops and restaurants, offering plenty of options for dining out in old Italianate-style buildings with diagonal street parking in the front. Van Gogh's Eeterie, famous for its Dutch pancakes, is a well-known spot to grab brunch. Lindberg's Tavern is the oldest bar in the city, tracing its history back to 1870. Today, the tavern is popular for live music and comfort food like mac and cheese or fried green tomatoes. Worley recommends Big Momma's Coffee & Espresso bar for a cup of joe. Residents can sip on a wide variety of drinks in this colorful local café. There is a Price Cutter at the corner of Commercial Street and North Grant Avenue for groceries. Residents can also shop at Save A Lot on the corner of Commercial Street and National Avenue.

Two of Springfield's oldest parks
Residents have easy access to two of the city's oldest parks — Washington Park and Silver Springs Park, established in 1869 and 1918, respectively. "These are historic parks that each have their own history and flavor," says Jenny Fillmer Edwards, Public Information Administrator with the Springfield-Greene County Park Board. "Washington Park has a picturesque gazebo that hosts a number of community events. Silver Springs Park is a big, beautiful park with a sloping hillside and a creek that runs through it." Residents can visit Silver Springs Park for basketball or tennis with friends. The park also has a playground and a swimming pool with dump buckets in the shallow end and a waterslide in the deep end. Washington Park is a smaller park square, but offers more natural scenery with lots of mature trees that surround a large central gazebo, basketball and tennis courts and a playground.

Park celebrations and the C-Street City Market
The parks around Midtown Springfield host several events each year. Washington Park hosts the annual Old Fashioned 4th of July Parade and Celebration, which includes a parade, games, food trucks and more. Silver Springs Park hosts the annual Park Day Reunion, where current and former neighbors come together for a parade, beauty pageant, concerts and a cookout. Edwards says people with ties to Springfield come from all over the country to celebrate this annual event. The C-Street City Market is held every Saturday and Thursday from April to October, where people can shop for produce, artisan jewelry, plants and other products from local vendors.
Century-old houses
Midtown's grid-pattern, tree-lined streets are full of houses from the late 1800s and early 1900s. They include styles such as bungalows, Craftsman and Tudor cottages. Most homes in the neighborhood have spacious front porches, where residents set up porch swings and other furniture. Shrubs often flank the front walk, and mature trees stand tall in the yards, casting shade across the streets. Newer ranch-style homes with attached garages built after 2020 can also be found in the neighborhood. A three-bedroom house can cost anywhere from $170,000 to $250,000. Four-bedroom homes usually cost $250,000 to $300,000.

Public transportation is an important fixture in Midtown Springfield.
Taking the bus or the highway
Midtown is conveniently located near several streets that run east to west through the entire city, including Commercial Street and Division Street. Chestnut Expressway is just south of the neighborhood, giving residents a route east to Kansas Expressway or west to Schoolcraft Freeway. The Lime route of the city bus system has two stops in the area, but residents can also walk to many places they want to be. "It's one of our most walkable neighborhoods. There are lots of walkable and bikeable amenities," says Worley. "It's even walkable to downtown, which opens you up to more than 60 restaurants.
