Teamwork and commitment to a healthier lifestyle drive KCK community
Rosedale residents don’t just talk about change. Devoted community leaders and residents in this Kansas City, Kansas community make things happen. Engaged community organizations and residents have worked closely with government officials to map out Rosedale’s future through a rigorous master planning process. A top goal is to make Rosedale a healthier, more walkable place to live. Another key partner in this ongoing process is the University of Kansas Hospital and Medical Center (KU Med), many of whose nearly 10,000 employees and students live here. While this collection of neighborhoods is just 3 miles away from downtown Kansas City, Missouri, Rosedale has its own distinctive vibe.
Rosedale residences have an abundance of outdoor spaces spanning across its rolling hills.
Master plan goals for a more walkable community becoming a reality
Thanks to the collaborative master plan process, Rosedale is becoming a more walkable community. Recent improvements on 47th Avenue and upcoming improvements on Rainbow Boulevard make these thoroughfares friendlier to pedestrians, cyclists and public transportation. Rosedale is flanked by Interstate 35, giving drivers easy access to downtown Kansas City, Missouri, Overland Park, Kansas and beyond. U.S. Route 169 and State Line Road are popular north and south travel thoroughfares. Several RideKC bus stops are nearby on main thoroughfares such as Rainbow Boulevard.
Joe’s Kansas City and Prospero’s Book Store have longstanding, loyal followings
Some retail outlets have achieved an almost cult-like status. For generations, Kansas Citians have bought their concert tickets and vinyl from Capers Corner Record Store way before records were called “vinyl.” Prospero’s has been selling books in the neighborhood since 1997. Joe’s Kansas City, the iconic BBQ joint located in a refurbished 1950s-era gas station, is usually packed. “Rosedale has fantastic food. The original Joe’s Kansas City is so good. Tacos el Matador is this tiny little hole in the wall that’s really, really good. The Vietnam Cafe is amazing,” Stryka says. Grocery shopping is available 2 miles away at Walmart Westwood Market in Mission and Sun Fresh Market in Westport.
Joe's Barbeque restaurant is often regarded as the best barbeque in Kansas City.
Prospero's Books on 39th St. has three floors of books you can browse through.
Prospero's Books was founded in 1997 and has a great selection of used books.

Fisher Park is a great place to go for a hike after a long day at the office.
Extensive Rozark Trail System and sprawling Rosedale Park invite outdoor activity
Hundreds of volunteers built and maintain Rosedale’s 5-mile Rozark Trail System, another byproduct of the Rosedale master plan. The trails connect to Fisher Park and Mount Marty Park. Some people use the trails to walk to school or work. The area’s largest park is Rosedale Park, which covers 55 acres and includes disc golf courses, baseball diamonds, tennis courts, a soccer field and a skate park. “Rosedale Park has a very engaged disc golf community. People just love it,” Stryka says.
Housing ranges from historic homes to new construction
“Leaving the hospital to the side, it’s kind of just chill. It’s not bougie. It’s not trying to be something it’s not. It’s just normal people with decent-sized housing that’s reasonably priced. The location is very good to get around,” Paul Galbrecht says. Galbrecht is a Realtor with KW who’s been selling homes in the area for five years. “The entire area is a mixture. There’s some light industry, it’s got KU Med and residential real estate. But it still has a neighborhood feel. You can still walk to restaurants,” he says. Around 70% of Rosedale rent their homes. Residential property ranges from historic homes to new construction. Styles include Craftsman, bungalows, ranch-styles and condos. Most smaller homes feature covered front porches and narrow driveways, but sidewalks are rare. Rosedale encompasses several unique neighborhoods. Hanover Heights features stately homes and a historic preservation designation. Hilltop is a historically Black neighborhood with single-family and multi-family homes. Next door, Mission Cliff is where most of Rosedale’s new construction can be found. Most homes sell for between $175,000 and $300,000.
Rosedale has several large family homes with nice curb appeal.
There are several craftsman style homes with covered porches in Rosedale.

Southwest Boulevard hasn’t flooded since flood control project completed in 2022
