“Working folk” find a place to call home

Bethel Welborn is a cozy spot to return to after a hard day’s work. This quiet residential neighborhood of primarily single-family homes is 10 miles northeast of downtown Kansas City, Missouri, and 2 miles south of the Missouri River.
Robert Brown, a realtor with Platinum Realty who grew up here, sums up the neighborhood vibe simply.
“This is a middle-class neighborhood of working folk. It’s a blue-collar community where people just want to work and take care of their families,” Brown says.
He’s been selling homes in the area for seven years.

Residents take care to maintain older homes

Bethel Welborn features a variety of home styles, including split-levels, ranch-styles and raised ranch-styles primarily built in the 1950s and 1960s. Home prices range from $125,000 to $250,000.
Miguel Cervantes, a realtor with REMAX State Line who’s lived in Kansas City, Kansas, since 1980, says one of the things he likes about the older homes in Bethel Welborn is their individual character, which one doesn’t always find in newer houses.
“In older homes like those in Bethel Welborn, you see nice touches like rounded arches. These homes offer character and the chance to have a house no one else has,” he says.
Cervantes has been selling homes in the area for seven years.
“Bethel has old homes and an old-town feel, but it’s still within city limits, so you get a well-established, seasoned neighborhood with mature trees, and people are always fixing up their homes,” Cervantes says.
