Share Guide

Southern Hills is roughly 16 minutes southeast of downtown Springfield and just over three hours from St. Louis to the east and Kansas City to the north. Many of the apartment rentals sit on the eastern edge of the neighborhood near Route 65, conveniently close to the retail areas around the highway's intersection with East Sunshine Street. Locals love dining at Peking House or popping into W.F Cody's for some old-school American food.

This area also houses a number of independent stores. Merrily We Quilt Along sells sewing and quilting supplies and runs classes for those who wish to improve their skills. Nearby, Rusty Moose Lodge Decor sells a tempting array of upscale home furnishings. For a wider range of options, the popular Battlefield Mall, with over 150 stores and eateries, sits less than 10 minutes away.

Outdoor enthusiasts can follow the Greenway trail south from Galloway Creek in the neighborhood's southwestern corner to scenic Sequiota Park and beyond.
