One block off US Route 66!

The space
Groups of 9+ ask about a 1 day minimum!
We just added a batting cage and 30K+ golf courses to our famous skatepark for your healthy entertainment, and if you book with us it is FREE for you to enjoy!

The area is an inner city location with possible street noise, but we are only 5 or 10 minutes to everything in town including the Scheels Sport Park! We also have a large pollinator space out back that is peaceful, and a good place to cook out. There is a fire pit, a grill and several picnic tables for you to use.

If you need more space or privacy, there are 3 spaces for you to choose from with their own kitchens and baths. The one you are looking at, "Work in Progress", has six very comfy beds, and it is the most luxurious and historic. "Expand", is a two bedroom, and "Express" has 1 comfy Queen bed. All spaces have access to the Skatepark, Golf Simulator and Batting Cage.

Book all three to bring the whole team, or mix and match to fit your needs. Check out these additional links below...

Guest access
Guests have the entire second level to themselves for complete privacy. They also have access to the new Batting cage, Golf simulator and Skatepark located on the first floor below the Airbnb's! These are all closed to the public when guests are staying, unless you want to share and open them up!!!

All living/sleeping spaces are completely private, with only a shared exit. Guests are welcome to use our gardens, dog walks and BBQ grills. There is also a firepit, picnic tables and a black razzberry patch out back. You will have a free run on almost a half city block that is commonly described as an "Oasis" or "Diamond in the Rough"!

Other things to note
Groups of 9+ ask about a 1 day minimum!
There are 2 other available apartments that adjoin the main space via an enclosed porch. One or both can be rented to provide more space and privacy! Both have full baths and kitchens and very comfortable beds.

"Project Southtown...Express", is a one bed room w/ a stove/oven and full kitchen, and "Project Southtown...Expand", is a two bed room unit w/ a kitchenette. Both are the same price!

These 3 adjacent private spaces occupy the second floor, and can be accessed w/o going outside. When these were built, store owners lived above their business for many practical reasons.

The Skatepark is under Work in Progress.
The Golf Simulator is under Express.
The Batting Cage is under Expand.

Booking the space above gives you dibs on the space below. Call or text for more details!
Today you can mix and match them to enjoy the comfort of yesteryear with A/C and all the other perks!

Neighborhood highlights

We are in the middle of everything Springfield...Just minutes from Scheels, Lincoln's home, the State Fairgrounds and Airport. The new Amtrak station is w/in walking distance, and will be up and running next year. The best Sushi (one block) and Mexican (three blocks) are also only a short walk away, along with the only 24/7 fast food in town.

Southtown was Springfield's first subdivision. It was a lively place with it's own movie theater, library, banks and bars. The old movie marquees has been restored, and we provide the night life!
