Community and city life harmonize in Citadel
Citadel is more than a neighborhood; it's a vibrant community where multi-generational residents have proudly called it home for decades. Situated 8 miles south of Downtown Kansas City, this community benefits from an active neighborhood association and is within arms reach of KC's beloved parks and the historic Brookside Shops. Whether witnessing neighbors lending a hand with driveway shoveling after a snowstorm or Citadel's youth ambassadors distributing the monthly newsletter, Citadel transcends being just a residential area. "Citadel is a hidden treasure in the middle of the city," emphasizes Ayanna Bridges, President of the Citadel Center Homeowners Association. "Everybody here knows everyone; we take pride in our community."
In the Citadel neighborhood, there are many beautiful homes along The Paseo.
Brookside is a wonderful shopping area to find gifts for friends or yourself.
