What gives Highview Estates a rural-suburban feel
Highview Estates sits on the southeastern outskirts of Kansas City, about 17 miles from downtown. The neighborhood has a rural-suburban feel, with small horse farms often right across the street from subdivisions filled with large homes. There’s plenty of space to get outside, thanks to the Rock Island Trail, which runs near a golf course and a large soccer complex. While shopping and dining options are limited here, Lee's Summit is about 5 miles south and has everything from big-box retailers to a quaint downtown district. And when you need to get elsewhere in the metro area, major highways are just a short drive away.
Home styles, lot sizes and prices
Highview Estates has a mix of ranch-style homes and New Traditionals built between the 1990s and 2010s. A lot of houses sit on roomy suburban lots, and properties closer to the neighborhood’s eastern edge often come with even more space. “You may be able to find a home on anything from a half-acre to 5 acres over in that area,” says Pam Bardy, a Realtor with Keller Williams who has sold several homes in the neighborhood. The median sale price here is around $300,000, slightly higher than Kansas City’s median of about $280,000. Prices typically range from the upper $100,000s to the upper $500,000s, depending on the home’s age and size.
New Traditional homes are common here.
Most homes were built between the 1990s and the 2010s.
