Harrison Park House for Sale

Harrison Park, located on the northwest edge of Springfield, is a small subdivision with fewer than 150 homes, offering a suburban feel just 4 miles from downtown. The neighborhood is part of the Pleasant Plains School District, with highly rated schools such as Farmingdale Elementary and Pleasant Plains High School. Homes, built in the late 1980s, feature unique facades and vintage interiors, including cherry wood kitchen cabinets and unfinished basements. Styles range from low-slung ramblers to boxy colonial revivals and stone-sided New Traditional builds. The active homeowners association fosters a tight-knit community, organizing events like bi-annual garage sales and an annual block party. Harrison Park is safer than the national average, making it a comfortable place for late-night strolls. Outdoor activities are plentiful, with direct access to the 11-mile Sangamon Valley Trail and nearby Centennial Park, which features dog parks, ponds, and sports fields. The neighborhood is car-dependent, with the nearest grocery store 2 miles away and more shopping options 3 miles south along Veterans Parkway. The former Lutheran High School's athletic facilities remain open to residents, adding to the local amenities. While the area has a slight flood risk due to a nearby drainage stream, mine subsidence insurance is included for property owners.
