Midtown Springfield Homes for Rent

Midtown Springfield is a historic neighborhood featuring century-old homes and two commercial areas, bridging the city's past and present. The south side is home to Drury University, providing a small college-town atmosphere, while the north side transitions into the Commercial Street Historic District, or C-Street, known for its locally owned shops and restaurants. Notable dining options include Van Gogh's Eeterie, Lindberg's Tavern, and Big Momma's Coffee & Espresso Bar. The neighborhood is also close to major employers like Cox North Hospital and the city government. Midtown Springfield boasts two of the city's oldest parks, Washington Park and Silver Springs Park, both offering unique historical and recreational amenities. Washington Park features a picturesque gazebo, basketball and tennis courts, and hosts the annual Old Fashioned 4th of July Parade and Celebration. Silver Springs Park, part of the African American Heritage Trail, includes a playground, swimming pool, and hosts the annual Park Day Reunion. The C-Street City Market operates every Saturday and Thursday from April to October, providing local produce and artisan goods. The neighborhood's tree-lined streets are filled with bungalows, Craftsman, and Tudor cottages, as well as newer ranch-style homes. Central High, the best public high school in Springfield, offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme and Missouri's A+ Scholarship Program. Midtown Springfield is highly walkable, with easy access to downtown and several major streets, and is served by the Lime route of the city bus system.
