Bunn Park House for Sale

Bunn Park, located in Springfield, is a neighborhood characterized by its proximity to the Bunn Golf Course and its affordable housing options. The area features homes built from the 1880s to the 1940s, including bungalows, Cape Cods, and Victorians, many of which require renovations. The neighborhood is quieter than nearby Harvard Park and offers direct commutes to downtown Springfield and the city's hospitals, making it convenient for residents. Despite its semi-urban feel with streetlamps and sidewalks, some streets lack curbs, adding to its lived-in atmosphere. Bunn Park has an active neighborhood association working with the Independent Coalition for Our Neighborhoods (ICON) to address infrastructure and residential concerns. The neighborhood is about 3 miles from downtown Springfield and the medical district, with a 15-minute drive during rush hour. Although there is no direct bus route, transfers take about 30 minutes, and biking is an option despite the lack of designated bike lanes. Local amenities include small convenience stores like Jamal's Groceries, Dollar General, and Humphrey's Market, as well as Felber's Tavern, known for its bar bingo and poker machines. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, and while there are no traditional parks within walking distance, Hobbes Park and Iles Park are about 1 mile away, offering baseball diamonds, pickleball courts, and a skate park.
