Piper brings a rural, spacious feel to the Kansas City area
People in Piper get the best of worlds. The Kansas neighborhood has all the amenities of a countryside oasis, like family owned farms and acres of green space. However, it's still close to the metropolitan area’s most popular destinations. “It’s a more rural part of KCK, but it's only 20 minutes from downtown, and it's even closer to the Legends Outlets,” says Shelly Doris Milburn, a Realtor with Keller Williams. “But the main reason people are moving here is because of lot sizes and the school district.”
Due West Ranch's horse boarding is a top-notch space for horse lovers.
