Brookline, also called Brookline Township, sits just eight miles west of the city of Springfield and provides an even mix of rural feel and suburban convenience. Townhomes, apartments, and single-family homes are all available to renters in this sprawling township, and renters enjoy both urban amenities like a variety of restaurants and even coffee shops, to the sights and sounds of Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield Park. Brookline is a great for commuters seeing as Springfield is less than 20 minutes away by car, and the cost of living and amount of space your dollars net is far greater.
