Waldo Multifamily Homes & Duplexes for Sale

Waldo, a vibrant neighborhood in Kansas City, is located just 10 miles south of downtown and near the Missouri-Kansas state line. Originally farmland owned by Dr. David Waldo, the area now features a mix of residential and commercial spaces. Home styles vary from small ranches and bungalows south of 78th Street to larger Craftsmans, American Foursquares, and Tudor-inspired homes between Wornall Road and Ward Parkway. The neighborhood also offers rental options with various apartment complexes. Waldo is known for its quick home sales, often driven by its proximity to the more expensive Brookside area. Residents enjoy numerous amenities, including grocery stores like Aldi and Hy-Vee, and shopping at Ward Parkway Center. Dining options are abundant, with local favorites such as Waldo Pizza, Kansas City Bier Company, McLain's Bakery, and Betty Rae's Ice Cream. The neighborhood hosts annual events like the Waldo Fall Festival and the newer Spring Fling. For outdoor activities, Sunnyside Park and Tower Park are popular, the latter featuring the historic Frank T. Riley Memorial. The 6-mile Trolley Track Trail offers a scenic route for walkers and cyclists. Waldo is served by the Kansas City 33 School District, though many families opt for private schools like Kansas City Academy and Académie Lafayette Charter School, both highly rated. The neighborhood is walkable, especially near Wornall Road, and well-connected by the RideKC bus system. Commuters can reach downtown Kansas City within 20 minutes via Route 71. With its diverse housing options, local amenities, and community events, Waldo presents a dynamic living environment.
