Springvale
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Springvale covers E 136th Avenue to E 140th Avenue between Ivy Street and Locust Street, and county records count 485 houses built in a tight run from 2002 through 2007. Two story plans dominate at 431 of them, averaging about 2,070 finished square feet on lots near a sixth of an acre, with 52 ranches mixed in. The concrete Springvale Trail threads the neighborhood past Springvale Park and its disc golf course, and Marshall Lake Park and Open Space sits just south, open for warm water fishing under city rules. E 136th Avenue runs the southern edge, Holly Street is a few blocks west, and I-25 is about ten minutes out.
