Historic sights and modern favorites in one place
Muncie blends a mix of pioneer life nostalgia and easy access to the KC metro in a community where history meets a modern flare. Muncie locals can visit the oldest home in Wyandotte County at Grinter Place Historic Site, eat at a regional favorite restaurant that was recently featured on a Netflix reality show, and catch a NASCAR race at the Kansas Speedway all within the same day. The community is removed from the metro, making the community quiet and filled with natural sights, but is well-connected to nearby highways, shopping and recreation whenever residents want some more excitement. “It’s a small-town atmosphere just outside Kansas City. It’s a difference between suburbia and urban living,” says Chad Chadwick, a sales professional with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate.
Ranch style home line the wooded streets of Muncie.
Small homes with plenty of land
The residential parts of Muncie have a variety of single-family raised ranch residences with brick facades, midcentury split levels, hip-roofed bungalows, and the occasional duplex. While homes tend to be small, with the average size being under 2,000 square feet, properties are often built on sizeable private plots of land. These plots can range from just one acre to over 30 acres. Houses in more remote parts of the region are built alongside dense woods, providing beautiful nature views and added privacy. Average home prices in Muncie range from $150,000 to $350,000.
Washington High School is a public high school in Nearman Hills of Kansas City, KS.
Aerospace training at Washington High
The Kansas City, Kansas Public School system serves the area. Children in Muncie can attend Stony Point South Elementary School, which Niche gives a C, as well as Arrowhead Middle School and Washington High School, which earn a C-minus and C on Niche, respectively. Washington High School offers the Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps, which allows students to learn about aerospace science without any commitment to military service after graduation. Kansas City Kansas Community College is less than 3 miles outside of Muncie, and students looking for a more traditional university setting may apply to the University of Missouri Kansas City, which is 15 miles away.
Fast access to interstates into KC
Muncie is bordered by Interstates 70 and 435 and Highway 32, making it well-connected to the rest of the metro area and the state. The community, which is 13 miles from downtown Kansas City, Missouri, is removed enough from the metro that the Ride KC bus system does not reach Muncie. Residents instead rely on personal vehicles to get around the local roads and highways. Despite this distance, locals are still within 7 miles of NASCAR races at Kansas Speedway or MLS soccer matches at Children’s Mercy Park, and 14 miles from medical care at Kansas City’s Hospital Hill district.
Jones Bar-B-Q, as seen on Netflix
If there is anywhere in Muncie that draws tourists, it’s Jones Bar-B-Q. While the Kansas City staple has been loved by locals for decades, the eatery reached international fame after being featured on Season 3 of Netflix’s “Queer Eye.” The restaurant is located on Kaw Drive and is open every day until stock sells out, so visitors will want to stop by early for some ribs or sausage links coated in the signature sauce.
Kaw Fresh Market is next to Jones Bar-B-Q on Kaw Drive and sells groceries while serving street tacos and hot sandwiches out of the on-site kitchen. Residents can also travel 6 miles away to The Legends Outlets off Parallel Parkway, which has retail stores and larger grocery stores. “Muncie is just a great spot to go,” says Mary Beth Schwartz, a Keller Williams real estate consultant. “The Legends Outlets is just west, and there are other practical places nearby, like Sam’s Club or Walmart.”
Jones Bar-B-Q is a popular eatery in Muncie for lunch or dinner.

Kayaking trips down the Kansas River
Riverview Park on South 74th Street is the community’s only local park and is the perfect place to relax after work or school or watch a youth baseball game on the weekends. The Kansas River runs along the southern side of Muncie, and kayakers can use the Turner Bridge Access Ramp to travel down the rushing water. When it starts to rain, Studio Skate Supply on South 65th Street has its own indoor skate park that can be enjoyed in any weather.
The Kaw River in Muncie provides tons of nature activities and views for residents.
