Midcentury homes on large lots
Lining the gravel roads of Hidden Valley is a variety of dwellings from the 1950s. Find three-bedroom ranch styles, which either have brick or vinyl facades. There are also a few split-level homes with two-car garages, though they are less common. Both these house styles typically sit on lots over a half-acre in size, a rarity for the metropolitan area. “The acreage is great,” says Ron Henderson, a team leader and Realtor with Keller Williams. “Especially because I wouldn’t consider it a necessarily rural location. It’s not far from most of the city.” To live in a Hidden Valley house, expect to pay anywhere between $150,000 and $215,000, a range less than a Kansas City home’s average $250,000 selling price.
