The page for each neighborhood, linked below, includes a street and boundary map and information about neighborhood councils.

Typically Springfield is divided into seventeen distinct neighborhoods. They are, as defined by the city Election Commission. While the exact boundaries are disputed depending on the source considered, most residents of Springfield have a sense of the neighborhood in which they reside and the Election Commission names are commonly used throughout the city.

For example, the Hollywood section of the South End is actually a housing complex and Mason Square is a central intersection where the Bay, McKnight, Old Hill, and Upper Hill neighborhoods converge.
