Kelsey Norman South House for Sale

When developers built out the area south of 32nd Street decades ago, Kelsey Norman South was one of Joplin’s fancier neighborhoods. These days other parts of town may better fit our modern definition of luxury, but this community, located about 2 miles from Joplin hospitals and Interstate 44, still maintains its larger homes and quiet feel. "These homes were built with a lot more of a luxury standard than a lot of Joplin," says Gary Mishler, Realtor for Keller Williams Realty Elevate. "A lot of them have structural details that almost look like a castle." New Traditional homes here date between the 1970s and the 1990s. Decorative brickwork, chimneys and large, domed windows add a vintage flair to the facades. Many of these homes are north of 2,000 square feet, allowing for spacious bedrooms and living areas, usually with a fireplace. The streetscape features manicured lawns, landscaping, and mature oak canopies. Prices range from around $200,000 to $250,000. Duplexes, apartments and manufactured homes are also located on the neighborhood's north side. As Joplin's highest-rated elementary school, Stapleton is a focal point for Kelsey Norman South and surrounding neighborhoods. It
