Why Live in Pillsbury
Pillsbury, a neighborhood located just northeast of downtown Springfield, is characterized by its historical connection to the Pillsbury Mills, an 18-acre site that once thrived but has since fallen into disrepair. The local non-profit, The Pillsbury Project, aims to revitalize the area by demolishing the most deteriorated parts of the mills by 2025. The neighborhood features a mix of industrial construction and residential areas, with single-family homes including bungalows and Cape Cod-style houses. Despite some homes being in poor condition, the area does not suffer from high crime rates, and government incentives are attracting new businesses. The neighborhood is bordered by North 9th Street, providing easy access to downtown Springfield and St. John's Hospital, both just 1 mile away. Public transportation is available through the Sangamon Mass Transit District, with bus stops on Carpenter Street and 11th Street. The Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport is 4 miles northwest. Local amenities include Krekel's Custard and Hamburgers, a classic burger joint, and retail options at Save A Lot, Walgreens, and Sangamon Center North. Lanphier Park, located just north of the neighborhood, offers picnic shelters, tennis courts, basketball courts, and Robin Roberts Stadium, home to the Springfield Lucky Horseshoes minor league baseball team. While the local schools have average ratings, Lanphier High School recently underwent a significant renovation to enhance its facilities. Residents also enjoy proximity to downtown Springfield's annual events, including performances at the Legacy Theater and the Illinois State Fair.
