South Crysler
Where two major thoroughfares meet, South Crysler comes alive. This centrally located Independence neighborhood, hemmed in by Interstate 70 and Highway 40, is big with homebuyers looking to easily get to downtown Kansas City in under 20 minutes. But take a walk through these somehow quiet streets, and you’ll find dining and entertainment options in bulk, mere steps from your front door.
South Crysler’s residential portion maintains serenity, thanks to a vast patch of grass separating its homes from the freeways. Strolling along one of its sidewalks will typically yield views of board-and-batten traditional homes – sometimes with quirky architectural additions like brick trim – set on small lots but still offering spacious and fenced-in backyards, as well as two-car garages, wide decks and narrow, covered porches. Asking prices tend to start around the $250,000 mark. “It’s very common for homes in this area in general to fly off the market,” says Shaun Ashley, Realtor with Re/Max Heritage.
Home location here is especially important when it comes to schools. Those closer to the eastern side attend the Independent School District: specifically, Luff Elementary, boasting an A- rating from Niche due to its robust curriculum placing emphasis on literacy, collaboration and self-confidence development, before feeding into Pioneer Ridge Middle and Truman High, the latter of which has a B rating from Niche. Residents nearing the highway intersection go to Raytown Schools, starting at Fleetridge Elementary, focusing on positive behavior development under the support of an active PTA, before heading to Raytown middle and high schools.
South Crysler may not have any parks, but it’s home to a popular training facility for local sluggers. The 21,000-square-foot DugoutKC has a little bit of everything, whether you want a full-fledged practice on one of its three turf fields, several different pitches coming your way from the batting machines, work on hand-eye coordination in one of the six batting cages, or even get in a typical workout on the bike, treadmills or ellipticals. Want to keep the fun going after training? You can rent the place out for your next party or other special event.
For event catering or a night when you don’t feel like cooking, head to the southern end for build-your-own pizzas at Fun House. You can also try out a specialty pie – like the Young Hippy, covered in the pizzeria’s famous pizza sauce and extra virgin olive oil and topped with cheese, ham, bacon, mushrooms, spinach, artichoke hearts and cherry tomatoes – or give some of its miscellaneous items a whirl, including hot wings and tacos. Want to keep the night going? Swing by Apex Aleworks for both house-made brews and local beers on tap. Opened in October 2018 as Independence’s first nanobrewery, it has everything from liquors like mule to cocktails and casual eats, ranging from paninis to pretzels.
Aleworks sits right in the middle of a vast shopping strip, too, so you can stay right here for most household needs, whether it’s groceries just across the road at Hy-Vee or Price Chopper, clothes from Crazy Bin or Viva Fashion Mart, or dance equipment from iDance.
Easily accessible to the metro area at large, leaving behind quiet streets and at-ease residents, South Crysler has found a way to accommodate most lifestyles.

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.
