Turner Home for Rent

Turner, a suburban neighborhood in Kansas City, retains its rural charm with residents occasionally seen traveling on horseback. Located 10 miles southwest of downtown, Turner features ranch-style homes from the 1950s, along with split-levels and raised ranches built between the 1970s and 2000s. Homes often combine brick or stone foundations with vinyl siding and Craftsman elements, offering privacy through fenced backyards and tree-studded lots. The neighborhood is rich in things to do, with Pierson Park providing a lake, wheelchair-accessible fishing dock, skate park, splash pad, and playground. The Turner Community Garden offers rentable plots and a weekly produce market, while KC Farm School hosts a farmers market and vocational education programs. The Turner Community Library supports artistic expression with monthly painting classes and art challenges. Turner Days, an annual festival each October, features a parade, live performances, games, and vendor booths. Dining options include The Windmill, Christy’s Tasty Queen, Amigo’s Grill and Cantina, and a Sun Fresh grocery store on Shawnee Drive. Merriam Town Center, 2 miles south, offers a movie theatre and big box stores like Ikea. Interstates 635 and 35 provide easy access to the Kansas City metro area. However, homes near I-635 may experience increased traffic noise, and nearby distribution centers contribute to truck pollution.
