McCoy Home for Rent

McCoy is a revitalized older neighborhood that's home to many of Independence’s key historical and cultural sites. Along quiet residential streets, locals live in renovated Victorian, Queen Anne, bungalow and traditional houses built as far back as the 1800s, just blocks from the childhood home of President Harry S. Truman. Independence Square is just outside the community, where trendy modern businesses surround the stately Historic Truman Courthouse. Foodies stop for meals at places like the Courthouse Exchange, Ophelia's Restaurant & Inn and Pleasant Street Coffee. The independently owned Pharoah Cinema 4 has been a destination for film buffs for more than 40 years. Other specialty businesses are a short walk away, like the Mustard Seed Thrift Store. The Square also hosts the enormous SantaCaliGon Days Festival each year. The event celebrates Independence’s role as the start of the Oregon Trail. The trailhead is in McCoy at McCoy Park, but the green space also offers 29 acres of modern amenities like a pioneer-themed playground, splash park and baseball diamonds. The well-rated Bryant Elementary School is located within McCoy. Downtown Kansas City is about 10 miles away. Locals can also find IndeBus stops on nearby roads or at the Independence Transit Center.
