Why Live in Franklin Park

Franklin Park, also known as Franklin Park Estates, is a suburban neighborhood on Springfield’s southeast side, offering a secluded atmosphere with a central park and active neighborhood association. Barker Park serves as a local green space with a playground and courts for basketball and pickleball, primarily used by residents. The association organizes events like the annual Fall Festival and maintains a neighborhood watch and active Facebook page for community interaction. Homes in Franklin Park date from the 1970s to the 1990s, with ranch styles being the most common, alongside some bi-level and two-story properties. Streets are wide, lined with mature trees, and feature well-maintained lawns and cul-de-sacs with basketball hoops. The neighborhood is within walking distance of Hazel Dell Elementary School, though plans are in place to relocate it in the future. Older students attend Jefferson Middle School and Southeast High School, which houses the Health Science Academy. Franklin Park is less than a mile from Lake Springfield, home to community centers like the Firefighters Lake Club and Springfield Motor Boat Club, offering dining options, boat slips, and swimming areas. The University of Illinois Springfield is about two miles away, with a walking path for pedestrians and cyclists. While there are no retail shops within the neighborhood, grocery stores like Walmart and Aldi are less than a mile away, and downtown Springfield, with more dining options and major employers, is about four miles away. The railroad runs just west of the neighborhood, with an overpass minimizing noise at Hazel Dell Road, though the train horn can be heard at the 11th Street intersection.
