The reflective exterior glass of the Oracle Cerner Innovations building commands attention in Loma Vista, a neighborhood in Kansas City. In 2022, the medical software giant consolidated its operations, relocating 12,700 local employees to its 2-million-square-foot structure. Loma Vista is on the upswing, with the city's largest private employer at its heart. "First-time homeowners are discovering a place they can truly make their own," says Meredith Sterling, a Broker with TribeKC. True to its name, which translates to "hill view" in Spanish, Loma Vista's winding roads are flanked by lush greenery with proximity to parks. Loma Vista offers a mix of townhouses and detached homes, providing residents access to local schools and highways 12 miles from downtown.

Walking through history at Schumacher Park
Though now a bastion of technology, Loma Vista once served as a transit point for travelers on the Santa Fe, Oregon and California trails. Schumacher Park commemorates these pioneers, with several plaques narrating their tales. The park spans 1 acre and features a meandering path through native grasses and wildflowers. Heart of America Golf Course is 3 miles away, boasting two 9-hole greens. Residents can explore the unpaved terrain and limestone bluffs at Wudchuk Run Trailhead in Swope Park, just 5 miles north, home to the Kansas City Zoo and Aquarium. In the summer, locals flock to Longview Lake Swim Beach to revel in boating and jet-skiing amidst the 930-acre expanse of water.
The Santa Fe National Historic Trail is located within Schumacher Park.

Groceries not too far from home at Price Chopper
Honoring its frontier roots, Loma Vista is home to Pioneer Plaza. Adjacent to the Cerner campus, this shopping precinct is undergoing development with the company's support and is aimed at invigorating the local economy. In 2021, a brand-new Price Chopper grocery store, a climate-controlled storage facility and a Taco Bell opened. The Loma Vista shopping center is also in the neighborhood, including Dollar General and Save A Lot. Town Center Plaza is 11 miles away for shopping at familiar retail brands and department stores, while the lively Brookside Shops beckon just 7 miles north. Locals frequent Luna's Chicken N' Seafood or Pa'Tacos Food Truck, often parked at the Sakki Food Mart. Olive Cafe, further south on James A Reed Road, serves Halal and Middle Eastern cuisine, while Tasty's is a local fast-food joint praised for its lemon pepper chicken wings.

Ranch-style homes close to schools
Amidst curving, hilly streets are Loma Vista's ranch-style and split-level houses, constructed in the 1960s. "Homebuyers are investing in properties that have been renovated with all the modern conveniences," Sterling says. These single-family houses typically feature cross-hipped roofs, spacious driveways, garages and the occasional bay window. Sprinkled among them are traditional bungalows boasting ample lawns and a sense of seclusion. Loma Vista also hosts Loma Vista West Townhouses, a 286-unit housing cooperative. Distinguished by its tenant-stockholder model overseen by a board of directors, this community offers residents access to a playground and a resident-only pool. Prices for detached properties range from $129,000 for a two-bedroom spanning 600 square feet to $270,000 for a four-bedroom sprawling over 3,000 square feet.
