Crestview is a family-friendly neighborhood in North Kansas City, right next to Interstate 29. After dropping the kids off at one of the local public or private schools, you can hop on that highway for a straightforward commute downtown. Aside from a pocket park and rows of midcentury homes, the neighborhood doesn’t have much else, but shopping, dining and other key parts of Kansas City are just a quick drive away.
Minimal traditional cottages and ranch styles sit along Crestview’s winding roads, often on small lots with one-car garages. The median sale price is around $200,000, which is less than Kansas City’s median of about $280,000. It’s also a bit lower than what you’ll find in nearby neighborhoods like Antioch Acres and Briarcliff. Houses that may need a little bit of work here can start in the mid-$100,000s, while homes with updates and renovations sometimes reach the lower $300,000s. With prices on the lower end, homes here tend to sell faster than the national average. “Things are on the market for a day, and then they’re gone because it’s such a highly coveted area for families to live,” says Jen Langston Justus, a Realtor with Dream Properties Real Estate who has sold several homes in the neighborhood.
With easy access to I-29, you have a direct route to several important places across Kansas City. From Crestview, you’re about:
The North Kansas City School District serves the area, with Crestview Elementary School right in the neighborhood. From there, kids can attend Northgate Middle School and North Kansas City High School. The neighborhood’s private options include St. Patrick Catholic School for prekindergarten through eighth grade. There’s also St. Pius X Catholic High School, which has been around since 1956 and is known for its:
Crestview Park sits right next to Crestview Elementary and has a small playground. For more green space, head just north of I-29 into the Davidson neighborhood. There, you’ll find Anita B. Gorman Park, home to a public swimming pool and baseball diamonds. A nearby trail connects to Englewood Park, where a small fishing lake is stocked with largemouth bass and channel catfish.
Crestview doesn’t have any of its own stores or restaurants, but you don’t have to go far to find some. Grocery options like Price Chopper, Aldi and Walmart Neighborhood Market are all within 2 miles. A few locally owned restaurants line North Oak Trafficway, including In-A-Tub, known for its deep-fried tacos, and Cascone’s, an old-school Italian joint that has been around since 1954. You’re also roughly 10 miles from larger shopping and dining hubs like Zona Rosa in Prairie Point-Wildberry, Old Westport and the Country Club Plaza.
