Citadel Center Home for Sale

Citadel, located 8 miles south of Downtown Kansas City, is a close-knit community known for its active neighborhood association and multi-generational residents. The Citadel Center Homeowners Association, with its six committees, plays a crucial role in maintaining the neighborhood's quality of life, organizing events, and collaborating with city officials. The neighborhood features rustic stone cottages, classic colonials, and neo-traditional homes with clapboard siding, brick masonry, and stick details. These homes, built from the late 1990s to the mid-2000s, are well-maintained and situated on tree-shaded streets with cul-de-sacs. The Metro Plaza shopping center serves as the commercial hub, while the historic Brookside Shops, just a mile west, offer boutiques, fitness centers, and dining options like Bella Napoli and Red Door Woodfired Grill. Additional shopping can be found 5 miles north at Crown Center. Citadel is surrounded by several parks, including Daniel Morgan Boone Park, Dunn Park, and the expansive Swope Park, which features the Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium and the Starlight Theater. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, providing a low crime risk environment. Citadel is well-connected with U.S. Highway 71 and public transit options along Prospect Avenue. The area is adjacent to Research Medical Center and 27 miles from Kansas City International Airport.
