Highland Manor offers plenty of options and convenience to the city
It’s almost a real estate cliché to say that a neighborhood has something that will appeal to everyone, but in the case of the Independence enclave of Highland Manor, it’s the truth. Looking for an established area with homes built in the 1970s? You’re in luck. Is new construction more your style? Look no further. In search of a lower-priced manufactured home? Highland Manor has got you covered. In Highland Manor, you’ll find all of those options, plus excellent schools, a wide range of amenities and easy access to highways. There are nearby parks and lakes for outdoor recreation; the National Frontier Trails Museum is less than 6 miles from the neighborhood; and the Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium is only 10 miles away. “One of the great things about the neighborhood is that you have just about any amenity you can think of close to home,” says Roger Deines of Compass Realty. “There are also a lot of different building styles there, and a lot of different price points.” Sounds a lot like “something for everyone,” doesn't it?
