Sequiota: the land of many springs
Located at the southeastern edge of Springfield, Missouri, Sequiota is a suburban neighborhood conveniently situated along major Highway 65. The northern part of Sequiota features the Fox Grape community, with one of the largest shopping centers in the area, and the southern sector consists of Galloway Village’s residential communities and trendy shops and restaurants. Sequiota’s name is said to mean “many springs” in the Osage language, which is represented by the neighborhood’s main attraction: Sequiota Park. The area is a popular recreation space, with a cave and spring for exploring, a lake for enjoying ducks and geese and trails to meander. “People who live close by to the park have a sense of ownership of it; it’s theirs. But, people come from all of Springfield for its unique features,” says Public Information Administrator, Jenny Fillmer Edwards, who has worked for the Springfield-Greene County Park Board for 12 years. Sequiota promotes a slow-paced, peaceful lifestyle in an environment with homes of various styles, nearby health care, restaurants and shops of every type, creating a mixture of suburban living with proximity to amenities in the busier parts of Springfield.

Creek-side trails and cave exploration at Sequiota Park
One of the main draws to the area is the neighborhood’s namesake, Sequiota Park. The park is a former state fish hatchery, with a cave navigable by boating tours, striking stone bridges and walkways, and the trailhead for the Galloway Creek Greenway Trail, which takes explorers through a scenic patch of preserved Missouri nature. “One thing that stands out at Sequiota Park is the living room sized rock that sits near the cave entrance, where kids enjoy climbing,” Edwards says. Visitors can also enjoy an al fresco lunch at the picnic pavilion or stroll the park’s paved walkways in the shade of towering trees. “The wooded area has trails to explore, and it’s big enough to make you feel like you are really out in the wilderness,” Edwards says. Community events also take place here, including Art in the Park, which celebrates regional and national artists and vendors. “If you ask anyone in Springfield which park is their favorite, Sequiota will most likely be in their top 5, which says a lot since we have 105 of them,” Edwards says.

Scenic and shaded Sequiota streetscapes
While Sequiota is close to a booming retail area and popular restaurants, it is still suburban in nature. Property types vary, from $200,000 to $550,000 brick ranch styles and townhouses in subdivisions and on single-family lots, to one-to-two-bedroom apartments Sequiota’s residential, sun-washed streets are flanked by sidewalks and large, verdant front lawns, making it a scenic place for an afternoon stroll. Adam Graddy, a top Realtor in Sequiota, says, “Fresh landscaping makes privacy-fenced back yards feel like oases, and quiet cul-de-sacs and big fenced back yards offer the perfect environment for kids to play.” Rent at complexes such as Galloway Creek or Quarry Town often falls between about $1,000 to $3,000 per month, with amenities, such as gyms, pools and social spaces.
