Perhaps no Jacksonville neighborhood has received more attention from the city government over the past twenty-five years than Springfield.  A historic neighborhood,  just half a mile north of Downtown,  and dating to the mid-19th century,  Springfield reached its peak in affluence and influence in the decades just prior to the Jacksonville fire of 1901, Springfield today is a mix of obvious restoration efforts and rundown homes.  Thanks to City-Funded Urban renewal,  many of the hundreds of large, beautiful, century-old homes have been freshly painted and refurbished.  The city continues to make funding available to willing investors, in the hope of making Springfield a showpiece of the original city.
