Suburban neighborhood adorned by oak trees
Oak Grove is a modest Springfield neighborhood of suburban streetscapes surrounded by busier thoroughfares. The central and east side of Oak Grove consists of mostly older and established neighborhoods with a lot of the usual trappings and a clue to Oak Grove's origin story. "It's known mostly for its oak trees, where the name comes from," said Rob Evans, a real estate agent with Murney Associates, who services the neighborhood.
While subdivisions have developed west of the railroad that runs through the neighborhood, it's a 20-foot long macaroni noodle in front of the Kraft Heinz Co. manufacturing plant that serves as the neighborhood's iconic landmark. It's motto, "You know you love it" not only pertains to the tasty side dish, but also residents' take on their surroundings.
Lena Guminski, president of the Oak Grove Neighborhood Association, says her favorite thing about Oak Grove is living by the park. "I get to hear all the people out there laughing," says Guminski. "There's the peacefulness of that and seeing people out jogging and walking their dogs."
She's referring to Oak Grove Park, easily reachable on foot for many, including those whose back yards adjoin the space. The park has a large field with mature trees that serve as obstacles for the nine-hole disc golf course. There's also a horseshoe pit, charcoal grills and a playground, making it a popular spot to gather for special occasions. The Oak Grove Community Center is located at the park as well, featuring an indoor basketball gym, a climbing wall and ping pong tables for the public to enjoy.
The Oak Grove Neighborhood Association puts on events at Oak Grove Park every year. Guminski says they do an ice cream social that has been growing over the years. The community also gathers for an annual potluck at the beginning of fall, which Guminski says always has the largest turnout.
With proximity to US 65, Oak Grove residents can quickly head north or south.

Homes from the mid-1900s to early 2000s
The residential side of Oak Grove is made up of straight streets lined with single-family homes on leafy quarter-acre lots. Most homes were built in the mid-1900s, with three-bedroom ranch styles being the most common. Some bungalows, Dutch Colonial Revivals and Craftsman-style homes are mixed in too. These homes typically range from $200,000 to $275,000. There are a few newer subdivisions developed after 2000, featuring neo-eclectic houses, which sell for around $300,000 to $450,000. While most homes are situated in quiet areas, there are some right next to the train track and others just across from U.S. Route 65, which can be noisy. There is a wall, however, to avoid the site of the busy highway.

Two main roads with retailers and staple Springfield restaurants
Two busy main roads are located on the neighborhood's outskirts, including East Sunshine Street on the south side and Glenstone Avenue on the west side. Both roads feature big box retailers like Walmart and Hy-Vee Grocery Store for convenient shopping trips. There are also several local shops like Freakin' Antiquin' Vintage Market and Brown Derby Wine Center, where visitors can shop from a wide selection of fine wine and cheese or enjoy a glass of wine with a sandwich. Both roads have dozens of restaurants to choose from, including national chains and local favorites like Cesar's Old Mexico, which is frequently voted as the best Mexican restaurant in Springfield by the readers of 417 Magazine. Casper's Diner is another hot spot, serving its famous chili since 1909, while currently decked out in 1970s décor.
A variety of dining options await Oak Grove residents.

Glendale High preparing students for college
Pittman Elementary School, which gets a C-plus grade from Niche, is right in the center of the main residential section of the neighborhood. Pittman hosts multiple after-school events each month such as family night at the Springfield Cardinals minor league ballpark. A few students on the west side attend B-minus-graded Bingham Elementary School, just a mile away. Students from both schools go on to Hickory Hills K-8 School, graded a B-minus, and Glendale High, which receives a B and ranks in the top 15% of Missouri high schools for college readiness.
Pittman Elementary School has an average enrollment of around 200 students.
Athletic programs at Glendale High School include soccer, track and basketball.
