The tale of Kansas City is one of repeated reinvention and revival. The city is bordered mostly by flat landscapes with a few valleys and elevated points overlooking the riverside. Under famed architect George Kessler's avant-garde vision, Kansas City became the paradigm for the City Beautiful movement. The movement has since enabled the city to compete with some of the most distinguished metropolises in the world. Kansas City rivals Paris in the number of boulevards, and ranks second only behind Rome in the number of fountains. The city also enjoys a flourishing economy and successful sports franchises: the Kansas City Royals (MLB), Kansas City Chiefs (NFL) and the Kansas City Wizards (MLS). With a population that keeps growing, Kansas City is poised to become a global city.
Evidence of Kansas City's renaissance efforts are in plain view at the Country Club Plaza, a high-end shopping district and neighborhood annexed by the city. Country Club Plaza was the first shopping center designed to accommodate cars while still being pedestrian-safe, all in the midst of beautiful buildings modeled after Spanish architecture. This architectural and shopping haven is five miles from downtown, boasting a half-sized tribute to Seville's Giralda Tower and Spanish-style murals, mosaics and statues galore.
Chic and affordable homesThe upscale designer boutiques here appropriately complement the equally upscale neighborhoods nearby, offering a plethora of stately Country Club Plaza mansions, luxury apartment complexes and chic condominiums. By contrast, the City Market within Kansas City's River Market neighborhood offers a more simple setting, punctuated by a diverse mix of vendors. The City Market has been around for more than 100 years, dating back to the mid-1800s, and its appeal to visitors and residents has not slowed with time.
Recent urban renewal efforts have helped to bolster property values, and have sparked an increase in the number of project developments in the city. Even with all the new real estate growth and renewal efforts, homes for sale in the Kansas City area remain very affordable with an average home price of $170,000.
Historical neighborhoodsConcentrated preservation efforts of historic districts have also added to the city's stunning transformation. It doesn't get much more historic than Quality Hill, the city's oldest continuously inhabited neighborhood. It was established in 1857 and was registered as a National Historic Place in 1978. The neighborhood was once the toast of the city during the roaring 1920s. Conveniently located just minutes from downtown, this recently refurbished neighborhood offers new and renovated townhomes, lofts and houses at competitive prices.
Another thriving historic neighborhood is Pendleton Heights. As the city's first suburb, Pendleton Heights is the site of the largest concentration of Victorian homes in the area. An eccentric mix of American Craftsman and Italianate-style homes can also be found in this community, balanced by modern Pendleton Heights apartments and homes.
