Don't Forget Broadway

If you’re in the mood to look at older homes for your first home purchase, don’t overlook homes that are on Springfield’s north side, such as just north of Commercial Street along North Broadway, in an area called Woodland Heights, in the general area of Grant Beach Park and north from there. This great area is currently undergoing a great change as some of these older houses in Springfield have been remodeled or refurbished, and is just great for the most amounts of square feet for the price. This process which happens from time to time in areas of older homes, sometimes referred to as re-gentrification or redevelopment.

A good example of this can be found at 1421 North Broadway, for only $85,000. This house has over 1,600 square feet of living space, and has been refurbished to the point that it may look better now than it did back when it was first built in 1896! Some of the original glass and woodwork is still evident, it has all of the modern conveniences. Definitely one to see!

We’re glad that some of the homes that are rich in Springfield heritage are back on the market and in good shape, many reminiscent of the glory days of the past.  It’s just another great area of Springfield not to overlook when searching for your first home.
