Walk to Robert Gillham and Hyde Park
Rockhill, an upscale, trendy Kansas City neighborhood, stretches from Robert Gillham and Hyde Park to Westport's entertainment and commercial hub. While it might be compact, Rockhill is full of life and character. Endless green spaces offer families pickleball courts and playgrounds, and nearby downtown Kansas City, affectionately nicknamed "KC," has all the restaurants, bars and clubs a local could want in the Power and Light District.
Whimsical homes in Rockhill
Rockhill's roads vary from tree-shaded side streets to broader main throughways. Iron fences give way to four-bedroom colonial homes and massive, whimsical Tudor Revivals. Occasionally, autumn-colored ranch homes will break up the larger estates. Whatever style it may be, homes often hit the market between $598,000 and $630,000. Residences rarely hit the market, but when one does, it isn't sold for nearly 2 months.

Country Club Plaza and Restaurant Row on 39th
Rockhill neighbors the famed commercial hub of Country Club Plaza, a Moorish-style shopping center with dozens of retail outlets and restaurants, like Winstead's, an old-fashioned diner established in 1940. Along Westport Road, several small businesses are housed in historic brick storefronts. It's the site of several restaurants, from familiar chains to popular local plates at Char Bar, Jazz A Louisiana Kitchen on 39th Street and The Pressed Penny Tavern, which serves drinks and gourmet dishes such as eggs benedict and steak frites. There's the Westport Flea Market, alongside music, clothing and bookstores. Locals enjoy unique breakfast plates at Snooze, an AM Eatery, before stopping at the neighboring Marsh's Sun Fresh Market for groceries and ending the day at Offkey Karaoke Lounge and Beer Kitchen. Another commercial strip along 45th Street features a cluster of antique and houseware stores, and north of Rockhill sits Crown Center near Penn Valley Park, home to Legoland, an aquarium and shopping center.
