Fairlane

Community events in the park
Residents can access a private, gated greenspace overseen by the Fairlane Homes Association, which serves as a designated neighborhood watch area. It features a short trail and ball field and is the central hub for neighbors to meet. In 2023, the neighborhood was awarded $4,000 from the Community Capital Fund to invest in events. Fairline in the Park was born from this initiative—an event with local music, good food, and festivities for the kids. The neighborhood is also adorned with inflatables of Santa and reindeer during the annual Holiday Lighting Contest.Close to The Hillcrest Community Center
Jerry Darter Park in the southern part of Fairlane is filled with tree-shaded walking trails and picnic tables alongside Interstate 470. The Hillcrest Community Center, adjacent to the park, hosts HoopFest basketball competitions and Mother-Son Superhero Dances to celebrate Mother's Day and athletic Summer Day Camps. Homefield Kansas City, a sports complex on Bannister Road that opened in 2019, trains local youth athletes. The facility offers group and private lessons, specializing in baseball and aiming to develop its members into professional players. More recreational opportunities are found 3 miles west at the Oakwood Country Club, one of the city's oldest establishments, founded in 1881. Summertime calls for trips to Longview Lake Swim Beach, which is only 6 miles southeast, where locals can cast their lines for Walleye and Crappie or rent a boat and cruise along the 930 acres of water.Quick grocery store Trips at Price Chopper
Fairlane benefits from the uncommon convenience of having two grocery stores within proximity. Price Chopper sits along Bannister Road, while Aldi is located around the corner on Blue Ridge Boulevard. Down that road, residents can treat themselves to one of Kansas City's highest-rated pizzerias, the Southside Mafia Pizzeria. Next door, Paul's Drive-In has been a community hub since the early 1960s. Its vintage restaurant sign and old-fashioned interior gives visitors a nostalgic dining experience. Fairlane is also 9 miles from Town Center Plaza, an elevated shopping district with dozens of familiar department stores and dining establishments.Overseen by The Fairlane Homes Association
Residences in Fairlane were built throughout the 1950s through the 1980s and reflect bi-level and ranch-style designs shrouded by oaks. The neighborhood's hilly, winding roads lack sidewalks, leading to long driveways with single and double-car garages. Residences are close together and resemble one another, made with either stone, brick or board-and-batten siding with hipped roofs. For a three-bedroom home, prices range from $149,000 for 1,400 square feet to $240,000 for over 2,200 square feet. Established in 1955, the Homes Association operates under a Board of Directors. They provide snow plowing, maintain the neighborhood park, and develop specific restrictions and regulations on new construction. They also host designated Dumpster Days in the Park, allowing neighbors to discard unwanted items easily.Small Learning Communities at Ruskin High School
Students in the neighborhood may be part of the Hickman Mills C-1 District. Compass Elementary is along Fairlane's southern edge. For the 2023-2024 school year, it was recognized as a Gold-Ribbon School, marking high academic achievement. Middle schoolers will attend Hickman Mills Middle School – 6th & 7th Grade Center and 8th grade center. However, the elementary and middle schools are not yet rated by Niche. and Ruskin High School earns a C grade and facilitates Small Learning Communities organized in various houses centered around the arts, engineering, and business.Highways adjacent to Catalent Pharma Solutions
