Developed between 1870 and 1900, McKnight contains the region's largest array of Victorian houses. The neighborhood's 900 homes are part of a district listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Much of its western half is also a local historic district with homes lovingly restored and preserved by residents.
Several small decorative open spaces grace the neighborhood. To its west are Springfield Technical Community College and Downtown. I-291 skirts its northern edge, providing easy access to the region.
