Welcome to Rountree!

Rountree is a thriving neighborhood of historic charm and diversity, conveniently located in the heart of our revitalizing center-city. We are home to college students from nearby Missouri State University and a variety of families young and old. In Rountree, you're a quick bike ride away from professional baseball, performing arts, and a host of unique restaurants and other offerings unmatched in the city.

The Rountree neighborhood consists of more than 1,000 households bordered by Glenstone Avenue (east), Catalpa Street (south), National Avenue (west) and Cherry Street (north). At the heart of our neighborhood is Rountree Elementary School, which opened in 1917, and is today the site of a unique International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program. 

The Rountree Neighborhood Association (RNA) was founded to preserve and promote quality of life for all its residents. We are among only three neighborhoods in Springfield with an Urban Conservation District (UCD). Rountree's UCD was approved by Springfield City Council in 1985 to allow the neighborhood to identify and solve problems associated with trash, noise, safety and residential overcrowding.

There's something for everyone in Rountree.

Attention Rountree residents, in an effort to assess the damage to neighborhood homes caused by flooding in 2008, the Rountree Neighborhood Association is conducting a survey. We’d like to hear from all residents.

This survey also asks some “qualify of life” questions designed to help us improve the neighborhood.

Please take a moment to answer the survey if you have not already done so. Responses will be tabulated and results will be shared with residents later in 2009.

Thanks for your participation. For information contact RNA Chairman Bob Keyes at 865-8321 or rvkeyes at mchsi.com
