Student Housing in Springfield, OH
About Student Housing in Springfield
Springfield, Ohio is a mid-sized city of roughly 58,000 people in the western part of the state, anchored by Wittenberg University and its tight-knit student body. The campus sits just north of a walkable downtown that's been quietly reinventing itself, with the historic South Fountain district and its Victorian-era homes a short walk away. Students spread into nearby blocks like Ridgewood, and the city wraps itself in green space: Snyder Park, Cliff Park, and the Buck Creek Trail along the river. Springfield plugs into one of the largest paved-trail networks in the country, so weekends lean outdoorsy. You've also got the Springfield Museum of Art, the Clark State Performing Arts Center, and Frank Lloyd Wright's Westcott House.
