History lives in Greenway Fields
In Greenway Fields, just 6 miles south of downtown Kansas City, classical aesthetics coexist with modern amenities. This urban community, nestled within the trendy and vibrant Brookside area, holds a rich history and is home to generational neighbors. With its proximity to the Brookside Shops, Kansas City's popular parks and annual festivals, Greenway Fields embraces 20th-century homes enveloped by towering oaks and maples, offering a slice of suburbia within the city. "It's located in the highly sought-after Brookside area, consisting of several subdivisions. It's a small town feel, where neighbors are friendly and look out for each other," says Kyle Talbot, a real estate agent with Kansas City Realty Services and owner of the Youtube Channel, Moving to Kansas City, offering relocators an inside scoop on everything KC.
