McKinley
Neighborhood in Joplin, Missouri
Jasper County 64801
Small cottages and bungalows with curb appeal
This is a residential area with single-family homes arranged in a neat grid. Many are from the early 20th century, with some dating as far back as 1910. These include cottages with brick chimneys, colorful shutters, arched doorways and other unique exterior elements. There are also bungalows with roofs covering pront porches. Front yards tend to be small but neatly mowed, with enough space for a swinging bench. Smaller homes around 1,000 square feet help drive the affordability of this neighborhood. Prices range between $65,000 and $150,000, which helps leave room for renovation budgets. Repairs vary from house to house, but roofs and siding are a common fix. Buyers should be aware of lead paint when remodeling.

After-school care at McKinley Elementary
A centrally-located elementary school helps make the morning and afternoon trek a bit easier. McKinley Elementary earns a C from Niche, promoting strong parent involvement through a Parent Teacher Organization. The Joplin Family YMCA School Plus program provides after-school care at McKinley from dismissal until 6 p.m. Students can progress to East Middle and Joplin High, which both earn a C-plus. High schoolers can stay active with state-of-the-art athletics facilities for 22 varsity sports.

Major retailers along Rangeline Road
Shopping and dining options are close at hand, from downtown Joplin to Seventh Street to Rangeline Road. "McKinley is right in the center of all three, so if you want a bite to eat, you're close to everything," Belcher says. About 1.5 miles west, downtown Joplin has a growing foodie scene. There, 530 Somewhere serves craft cocktails and hearty entrees such as Spaghetti Western, topped with signature chili, pickles, onions and Romano cheese. A mile east is the area's main commercial hub with retailers such as Target and Kohl's. A bit further north up Rangeline is Northpark Mall, an indoor shopping center with common mall stores such as T.J. Maxx, JCPenney, Hot Topic and H&M. Seventh Street is another commercial area bordering McKinley to the south. There, Walmart Neighborhood Market is the closest spot for a pantry refill.

Joplin celebrates African American heritage
Joplin events are close by, at local parks and the city center. Ewert Park hosts the annual Emancipation Celebration in August, a Joplin tradition for over 100 years, aiming to educate about African American freedom and achievement. The three-day event features live music, storytelling, comedy, a kid-friendly outdoor movie and a domino tournament, culminating in a church service and car show on Sunday. Celebrations take place regularly in downtown Joplin, such as the Empire Market, an indoor market held every Saturday showcasing a variety of local vendors and live music.Seventh Street leads to downtown Jopin
This neighborhood is connected to the rest of Joplin by Seventh Street, which borders the neighborhood's south side and also intersects with the historic Route 66. This road leads to downtown Joplin, 1.5 miles west, and the Rangeline Road business district, 1 mile east. Public transportation is lacking here, but the city does provide Metro Area Public Transit System rides per request. Walkability may be limited in the neighborhood as only some streets have sidewalks.Spaces to swim and skateboard at Ewert Park
Green spaces are less than a mile in any direction. To the east, Leonard Park is a popular outdoor area with various ways to play and exercise. At 11 acres, it's a spacious, grassy area dotted by trees, with a mile-long paved walking trail that loops around. The park also has a playground, tennis courts, and a pavilion with grills for cooking a picnic lunch. To the west, Ewert Park has a public pool with slides for the strong swimmers and a shallow splash area for the younger kids. Ewert also has a skate park with obstacles for bikes, scooters and boards.
