Spring Branch has a country feel with city amenities nearby
Settle into Spring Branch, an Independence area boasting suburban comforts in a rural setting. “It’s nearing the outskirts of the city, so you can get that quiet, country feel,” says Ryan Gritters, a Realtor for Keller Williams Platinum Partners. “But it’s got easy highway access, so it’s not totally secluded.” For the conveniences that accompany a metropolitan area and the amenities of a countryside oasis, Spring Branch offers plenty of both.

Spring Branch homes offer more land than most city properties
With this mixed atmosphere comes a wide variety of house styles. Find three-to-four-bedroom New Traditional dwellings from the early 2000s in subdivisions like Rockwell Estates or Alexander Place. You can also get a sprawling 1950s ranch-style or split-level sitting on a 5-acre plot of land. No matter the style, a reasonable price is the norm in Spring Branch. “The entirety of Independence has well-priced homes, but when you consider how much land you could possibly get with a house here, that idea is especially true,” says Gritter. Compared to a Kansas City home’s average $250,000 selling price, living in Spring Branch typically costs between $180,000 and $275,000.
This split-entry home features a bright, welcoming exterior with wide front steps and a shaded yard, offering a classic suburban look.
