Longfellow Homes for Rent

Longfellow in Kansas City, once known as “Womontown” for its LGBTQ community, is a neighborhood rich in history and character. Victorian-era mansions and pastel-painted Queen Anne homes line the streets, with newer shed styles and contemporary builds emerging. The area features red-brick Italianate storefronts housing eclectic breakfast spots and lively bars. Residents can walk to Kansas City landmarks like Liberty Memorial and Hospital Hill, home to the University of Missouri Kansas City School of Medicine. Local attractions include Sheila Kemper Dietrich Park, Longfellow Park, and Crown Center, which hosts seasonal events and features the Sea Life Aquarium and Legoland. Penn Valley Park, a 176-acre expanse, offers access to the World War I Museum and the Money Museum. Longfellow Farm and the Longfellow Community Association foster a strong sense of community with events and volunteer opportunities. The neighborhood is known for its quirky establishments like Sister Anne’s and Virgil’s Plant Shop, as well as popular dining spots like Succotash and The Filling Station. While Longfellow is walkable, Interstate 71 and the Troost MAX Route provide convenient transportation options. The crime rate is comparable to the national average.
