Northeast is a community that cares about each other

Northeast is a long-standing historic Kansas City, Kansas community. History lives at the Quindaro Ruins Overlook Structure and Quindaro Underground Railroad Museum, highlighting the area's past as an integral underground railroad stop. Facing challenges in recent years, "At one time, it had everything there, but it slowly turned into a food desert as things began to move out west and the people moved with it," says Realtor Taiasha Nichols of T Nick Real Estate Services, who has sold dozens of properties in KCK. "Now we have grocery stores, redevelopments, and many different, newer homes, so it's becoming something more." With several parks and proximity to employers, Northeast is on the rise.

Community groups are integral

Home to the Groundwork Northeast Revitalization Group, which works on building up the community focusing on four sovereignties: Economic, Environmental, Food, and Cultural Identity and Belonging, spearheaded by educational seminars, masterplan initiatives and nature revitalization projects like the NE KCK Heritage Trail.

Historic Northeast homes near parks

The downtown neighborhood sits next to Kaw Point, one of the resting spots of the famous explorer Lewis and Clark and a starting point for trailblazers heading West on the Santa Fe, Oregon and California trails. The architecture of Northeast is as diverse as its population. "It's a melting pot in that area," says Nichols. Ranch homes, Craftsman's and the classic Midwest Shirtwaist are popular styles. These historic homes are some of the oldest in the city, perched on grassy knolls with steps leading to front porches and sidewalks. Most homes usually range between a low $100,000 to just under $300,000.

Northeast is 4 miles from Kansas City, Missouri

For those needing to commute, KCK is conveniently found near several major interstates and highways, including I-70 and I-35. Like most metropolitan areas, traffic can prolong one's commute, but having numerous roadways means many options to get wherever. The community is adjacent to The Fairfax Industrial District, booming with manufacturing jobs. The city is 7 miles from the Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport and about the same distance from St Luke's Hospital of Kansas City. The Kansas City International Airport is 16 miles north, while public transit is found down U.S. 69 with several stops for the RideKC Bus.

R's Cafe has made Northeast home for almost 40 years

The neighborhood is 4 miles from Midway Shopping Center, a local flea market with almost everything. Grocery stores, auto repair shops, and pharmacies can all be found just south of the neighborhood along Minnesota Avenue, like Bonito Michoacán and Mi Pueblito for fresh meats and bread. Locals head to Las Palmas Restaurante for authentic Mexican and Central American cuisine in that same sphere. For a bite close to home, Texas Tom Burger is the place for comforting sandwiches, and Ms. R's Cafe has been around since the 80s as a long-standing family-owned soul-food spot. "Wherever you purchase a home in this neighborhood, you will be close to the highway and shopping," Nichols says. The Merc Co+op is a community-centered grocery store.
