Kansas City, KS

Housing & Neighborhoods

Your KCK Real Estate Guide knows the area like a local should and is able to point you toward homes and neighborhoods that will meet your lifestyle. KCK is made up of five unofficial “regions”– West, Midtown, Northeast, Downtown, and South. Here are a few ideas of places to start:

• Strawberry Hill Neighborhood – this is a well-preserved historic neighborhood which sits on the bluffs overlooking both the Kansas (Kaw) and Missouri (Mo) Rivers. A tight-knit community with housing prices varying from the $200K+. 
  • • Try out Kinship Cafe, a local business with a mission for kindness and equality … and a darn good sandwich! 
    • This downtown area is also home to The Avenue of Murals (four blocks of murals!) depicting history and culture in a vibrant and engaging way! 
    • Chente’s on the Hill – a pizza pie you will crave on the weekly (and likely even more often)!
• Western KCK is a focal point of growth and has oodles of shopping, entertainment, and dining options. Some things to be sure to check out:
  • • The Legends with all the shopping (outlets, Target, Sam’s …), and a tribute to over 80 of the most well-known Kansas Citians via statues throughout the area.
    • Kansas Speedway – NASCAR and all kinds of events happen here.
    • Children’s Mercy Park – a soccer-specific stadium and home to Sporting KC and KC Current
    • Some subdivision options include Villas of Piper Valley, Glenn Eagles, Canaan Woods, Whispering Pines, and a promise your KCK Real Estate Guide will hunt down exactly what you are looking for in your price range!
• Midtown KCK has a good amount of residential and a spacious feel. For starters, you have the 1500-acre Wyandotte County Lake and Park in this area – a stocked lake, all kinds of trails, and plenty of “play space”, picnic areas, fresh air!
• Southern KCK includes the Argentine and Armourdale neighborhoods, amazing local food spots, and the University of Kansas Medical Center. Here are a few “not to miss” items for this area of KCK:
  • • Rosedale Memorial Arch – dedicated to the soldiers of World War I, and modeled after the famous Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France. In 1993 a historic marker was dedicated under the arch to honor the soldiers of World War II, Vietnam War, and the Korean War.
    • A must try is Jarocho, authentic Mexican seafood – the ceviche is top notch!
