What life is like in Greenway Fields

The neighborhood is tucked right next to Brookside Shops, a commercial district known for its locally owned restaurants and boutiques. Residents an easily walk over there to grab a cup of coffee in the morning or go to a happy hour later in the day. Greenway Fields is also bordered by the Trolley Trail and Ward Parkway, two scenic pedestrian paths that lead to other well-known green spaces. Even with all of this nearby, Greenway Fields still feels peaceful, thanks to its tree-lined streets and pocket parks that are taken care of by the HOA.
Common house styles
Colonial Revivals and Tudor Revivals make up most of the housing stock in Greenway Fields, although no two houses really look the same. “Some are made of stone, and others are stucco and painted in colors like blue and green,” says Suellen Dice, a Realtor with Realty ONE Group Metro Home Pros who lives in the nearby Armour Hills community. “People in the neighborhood actually take a lot of pride in the fact that it doesn’t look cookie-cutter.” Houses also tend to sit on compact lots with shared driveways, well-landscaped lawns and small backyard patios.
Most houses were built throughout the early 20th century.

Higher prices and quick sales define the real estate market
The median sale price in Greenway Fields is about $625,000, which is significantly higher than Kansas City’s median of about $280,000. That’s also higher than what you’ll find in other Brookside neighborhoods like Crestwood and Morningside. Another thing that sets this neighborhood apart is how quickly homes sell. “It’s a really competitive market because there aren’t very many homes in the neighborhood,” Dice says. “I swear I’ve seen a for-sale sign go up one day, and then it’s gone the next.” Prices here typically range from the lower $400,000s to the mid-$900,000s, depending on the home’s size and condition.
Stores, restaurants and events at Brookside Shops
Most homes are within half a mile of Brookside Shops, where Tudor-style storefronts are filled with over 90 stores and restaurants. Once you walk over there, you’ll find:
Breakfast options like The Roasterie Café and HomeGrown
Casual restaurants like Jalapenos for Mexican food and Charlie Hooper’s for bar food
Italian spots like Carmen’s Café and Bella Napoli
Grocery stores like Price Chopper and Consentino’s Market
Locally owned stores like Brookside Jewelry and Brookside Toy & Science
Being able to walk to the shopping center really comes in handy during big events like the Brookside Farmers Market on Saturdays or the Brookside Art Annual every May. “Parking is hard to come by on a normal day, and it only gets worse when people come in from other parts of the city,” Dice says. Several other major shopping centers are within 3 miles, including the Country Club Plaza and Ward Parkway Center.
