Phelps Grove has museums and access to MSU
Just south of Missouri State University, Phelps Grove offers easy access to schools, museums and entertainment. Popular with college students, this neighborhood's average local age skews lower. At the same time, the homes are frequently a century old or more. "There are many historic homes in the area that have been remodeled," says Candace Faith Frugé, a Realtor with eXp Realty. "They provide upscale rental homes to students, professors and others."
The center of the Phelps neighborhood is the Phelps Grove Park just south of MSU.

The further north a house is, the newer it tends to be
Residents near the southern half of Phelps Grove often live in bungalows, Colonials and the occasional ranch-style home. Generally midcentury or older, these homes are often extensively renovated and feature accents like stone or vividly painted exteriors. Houses in this neighborhood section run from the mid-$200,000s to the mid-$600,000s, depending on location and condition. The latest construction is found in the northern half of Phelps Grove, where neo-traditional homes in master-planned communities range between the high $200,000s and the low $600,000s. "Homes here are usually more expensive," says Pastor Nicholas Hagerman who's lived in the area for over 13 years. "It's also quieter here because the MSU campus is about a mile north, and there are trees that block any noise."

The area has several straightforward routes to campus
Drivers can be on campus after driving less than a mile north. "Residential permits are required for street parking, so that helps keep the streets from becoming overflow parking for MSU," says Frugé, who owns the Circle on the Square Holistic Center in Springfield. Cyclists can be at Kemper Hall on campus in roughly five minutes, and those who like to walk can expect to step foot on MSU ground after around 15 minutes. South National Avenue has bus stops for anyone who prefers public transportation. The closest thoroughfares are State Routes 13 and 744.
A newly constructed walkway under Grant Ave makes walking from Phelps to the MSU campus easy.
The Ruth Bader Gins-Bear is a familiar site for MSU students and Phelps residents.

Teens at Parkview High School can try out for the all-female Lassie Drum & Bugle Corps team. The group was established in the 1950s and continues to join events like the St. Patrick's Day parade in St. Louis. All three schools get a C-plus from Niche. Founded in 1905, Missouri State University is a major part of the local culture, enrolling over 25,000 students yearly for nearly 200 graduate and undergraduate programs.
