First-time buyers find value in Gladstone’s housing market
Sometimes referred to as “happy rock,” Gladstone is a suburb where residents are often in high spirits. Not only does the north Kansas City community boast ample commercial hubs and green spaces, but it’s also known for reasonably priced dwellings. “Gladstone is a cost-effective area,” says Ron Henderson, a team lead and Realtor with Keller Williams. “It’s a great place for first-time homebuyers because the homes are also well-maintained. If one of these houses were in any other Kansas City area, they would easily be $150,000 more.”
Plentiful greenery is a feature of Gladstone.

Gladstone homes range from 1950s styles to new farmhouses
Homes in Gladstone typically cost between $230,000 and $400,000, a range similar to a Kanas City home’s average $250,000 selling price. You can buy a spacious midcentury dwelling constructed around the suburb's 1952 establishment for this amount of money. Find three-to-four-bedroom ranch styles with low-sloping asymmetrical roofs and split levels with two-car garages. There are also a few Colonial Revivals and Mansard-style homes from the same era. The neighborhood’s eastern region has newer developments with contemporary and modern farmhouse designs. No matter what style you’re looking for, you’ll have to act fast to buy a home here. “All of Gladstone is selling incredibly quickly,” says Henderson. “Most houses barely stay on the market for six days.”

Central Park and the community center offer pools and play
Gladstone is dotted with several unique green spaces, but a few especially stand out. For instance, Linden Square is in the city’s downtown area, and the outdoor amphitheater offers year-round entertainment. Celebrate the Summertime Bluesfest, where jazzy tunes and local food vendors unite. To celebrate the end of summer, Gladfest invites residents from across the city to enjoy carnival rides and games. When the weather gets colder, commemorate the holiday season with the Christmas tree lighting ceremony and a trip around the synthetic ice skating rink. The 15-acre Central Park is another popular recreational hub. Children can sail away on the pirate ship-themed playground or swim in the Gladstone Municipal Pool, which has a water slide and splash park. You can even swim indoors at the community center’s three pools or work out in the fitness center.
