Welcome To Springfield Missouri - A Tour Down Memory Lane - Visiting Springfield Mo Real Estate

My daughter and her family were here for Thanksgiving this week, so today we took a tour through Springfield to show her the many changes that have taken place since she moved away over 10 years ago.

Lexington Square

 

 

 

We started at Springfield Lake capturing the beauty of the calm lake and the new subdivisions that surround it now.  Lexington Square was one of the many new subdivisions that have developed in the past few years.

 

 

 

We traveled up National Avenue, where we stopped to view Missouri State University and the new stadium.  My grandson is turning 16 soon and is beginning to look for a college he will be attending.  Near the university, we passed the John Q Hammons arena. Home of the Bears and Lady Bears Basketball, it is also used for concerts and special events.

John Q Hammons has blessed the city of Springfield with so many great buildings, along with the Hammons Field and Jordon Valley Park.

Springfield is one of the greatest cities in the Midwest to raise a family or retire.  Someday my daughter and her family would like to move back.  For now, they settled for a tour of Springfield and all the new real estate improvements.

If you are planning a move, check our Springfield real estate.  We will be happy to help you with all your real estate needs.

I do love Springfield and the surrounding area. Great schools, mid to low cost of living, plenty of affordable housing, housing prices have held steady for the most part, fantastic medical facilities, cashew chicken and small town feeling with big city amenities & nightlife.  What better place to raise a family than Springfield, Missouri?

It must have been fun taking a trip down memory lane. I always find it interesting to head back to a place that I have not been to in a really long time.
