Fairmount Homes for Rent

Fairmount is an Independence, Missouri, neighborhood along the Missouri River on the edge of Kansas City's East Side. Originally developed as the final stop on the area's trolley line, the neighborhood still has an industrial landscape with housing that tends to be more affordable than many parts of the metro. Fairmount Park offers tree-shaded walking trails and a playground, while the Fairmount Community Center hosts fitness classes, bingo, card games and lunch on weekdays. For additional outdoor recreation, Berkley Riverfront is about 8 miles away. The neighborhood is part of the Independence School District, and students can attend Fairmount Elementary School, Clifford H. Nowlin Middle School, and Van Horn High School. Nearby shopping options include Aldi, Apple Market and El Mercado Fresco. Dining, entertainment and nightlife can be found a few miles west in 18th And Vine and the Crossroads Arts District. Interstate 435 and Truman Road also provide access to major sports venues and the Kansas City International Airport. Downtown Kansas City is roughly 10 miles away.
