    "Don't let crime statistics scare you, the Mercy ER is very nearby which receives lots of mandatory reports that often skew crime statistics. Phelps Grove park is in easy walking distance. Other places you can walk to include Starbucks, Bass Pro, a grocery store and Sunshine Grade School. This neighborhood could easily be considered the center of town, nearly everything Springfield has to offer is within a 5 minute drive. The neighborhood itself is very quiet. The homes vary from quaint to fabulous and tenants consist mostly of older couples or professionals. There are very few rentals."
