Sought-after subdivisions north of Kansas City

Parkdale-Walden is a contingent of subdivisions in Northland Kansas City known for well-kept homes and highly rated schools. Residents can walk to amenities like community pools and clubhouses and head to shops and local restaurants within the neighborhood boundaries. Some homes sit lakeside, while others back into dense forest. Diverse home styles offer various points of entry into communities that include Tremont Manor, Hills of Walden, Forest Ridge Estates and the small city of Houston Lake.

A wide price range for Parkdale-Walden homes

Most homes in Parkdale-Walden sit above the median price for Kansas City, though many are still below the national median. “You can still find a decent home that is relatively updated for $350,000,” Galbrecht says. “To me, I think that’s a relatively affordable home. It’s all relative to people’s unique situation.” On the lower end, homes in need of some updates near Houston Lake start at $130,000. Three-bedroom ranchers and split-levels hover around $300,000. Updated four-bedroom builds can climb north of $400,000. On the highest end, homes in Tremont Manor and new construction in Forest Ridge Estates can fall between $600,000 and $1.25 million. Two- and three-bedroom units in townhomes near Northwood Road sell between $150,000 and $225,000. Buyers across the board can expect to pay HOA fees.

Park Hill schools are a draw

Students are zoned for the highly regarded Park Hill School District, which was the first public school district to win the Missouri Quality Award twice. Students can attend Southeast Elementary, then Lakeview Middle, which both get an A-minus from Niche. Park Hill South ranks in the top 20 Missouri high schools, according to U.S. News and World Report. Niche gives the school an A.

Private and public recreation in Parkdale-Walden

Residents can walk to wide-ranging recreational facilities within their subdivisions, including pools and tennis courts. The Hills of Walden has an active clubhouse, where neighbors gather for seasonal events or bring their kids to meets of the summer swim team. Just beyond the cul-de-sacs are public green spaces for passive play such as Michael Gunn Park and Northwood Park. Frank Vaydik Park across Interstate 29 is an area hub for families, as the near 150-acre park hosts a miniature railroad, an ice rink, ball fields and scenic nature trails following a creek.

Just 10 miles from Kansas City International Airport

Most residents here drive when heading outside the neighborhood, though the 229 bus route stops along Prairie View Road. I-29 connects residents to downtown Kansas City or the airport, which is only about 10 miles away – in this way, Northland has the edge over their neighbors south of the river. “Our airport is very unique,” Galbrecht says. In 2023, Kansas City International Airport completed an enormous renovation, unveiling a brand-new terminal. “The airport has a lot of local-owned restaurants that are unique to KC, and it really plays off of KC, who we are and what we offer.”
Zona Rosa and MCI Airport are just a short drive from the Parkdale-Walden neighborhood.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
