South K.C. neighborhood attracts families
Located about 15 miles south of downtown Kansas City, White Oak is an established Kansas City neighborhood that attracts families and first-time home buyers because of its accessible prices. Named for the white oak trees that tower over the streets and houses, it’s one of many popular south Kansas City suburbs that sprouted up mid-century in response to the Baby Boom. "Most homes were built in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. That's when that area really started to be developed," TribeKC real estate broker Meredith Sterling says.

Mid-century charm in the $200,000s
Midcentury ranch-style houses and split-levels make up much of the home inventory. Spaced tightly on narrow streets, most homes offer narrow front yards with more spacious backyards. Addresses usually come with a driveway and some have garages to accommodate off-street parking. Prices range from around $160,000 to about $360,000. "You probably can't find anything like these homes under $350,000 in either Overland Park or Lee's Summit," says Ali Benarous, a lifetime KC resident.
