Kickapoo Homes for Rent

Kickapoo, a neighborhood in south Springfield, was developed around Kickapoo High School, which was established in 1971. Originally known as Kickapoo Prairie, the area features a diverse range of housing options — from affordable apartments to upscale homes — with prices generally ranging from the low $200,000s to the high $300,000s. The neighborhood is characterized by suburban streetscapes with mature trees, sidewalks and brick homes in muted shades. Kickapoo High School, which is rated highly for college readiness, and The Summit Preparatory School, known for its arts program, are notable institutions in the area. Gillenwater Tennis Complex, located across from the high school, offers public athletic facilities — including 12 lit tennis courts — picnic tables and a playground. Twin Oaks Country Club, just south of Kickapoo, is a popular spot for golf enthusiasts. Local attractions include the Alamo Drafthouse, known for movie screenings and its extensive beer list, and Pineapple Whip, famous for its fruity soft-serve ice cream. For shopping, residents have access to ALDI in Battlefield Mall and other stores, like Target. Public transportation is available along major roads, and Missouri state Route 60 offers a convenient 5-mile route to downtown Springfield.
