Lower home prices and a convenient location bring buyers to Ingleside

Ingleside is a southeast Kansas City neighborhood that’s popular with investors and homebuyers looking for a convenient location. Most of the homes here were built throughout the early 1900s and may need some renovations, but they tend to cost well below the citywide median. Along with these lower prices, you’re close to plenty of things to do, whether that’s working out at the Linwood YMCA/James B. Nutter, Sr. Community Center or shopping at the Country Club Plaza. Interstate 70 and U.S. Route 71 are also nearby, making it easier to get to downtown Kansas City and other parts of the metro.

What homebuyers can expect in Ingleside

Ingleside's gridded streets are lined with Craftsman bungalows and Kansas City Shirtwaist-style houses that have good bones. “Homes were built with amazing craftsmanship back in the day, so you’ll still see a lot of the original crown molding and stone porches," says Joe Blackshere, a Realtor with 1st Class Real Estate who has sold several homes in the area. “Now, they just need to be restored to their original quality.” Homes that need a lot of work can start at around $40,000, while renovated properties may reach the upper $100,000s. The median sale price here is around $130,000, which is significantly less than Kansas City’s median of about $280,000.

Things to do at Linwood YMCA/James B. Nutter, Sr. Community Center

The Linwood YMCA/James B. Nutter, Sr. Community Center has been on Ingleside’s southern end since 1975. After a major renovation in 2017, it became an even bigger hub for recreation and community services. Today, residents can go there to:

  • Take swim lessons at the indoor pool
  • Work out in the wellness center
  • Shoot hoops on the basketball court
  • Join fitness classes like Zumba and yoga
  • Visit the University Health Community Care clinic for medical appointments
The YMCA is right next to Central Park, where you’ll find tennis courts, a football field and a playground. If you're looking for even more room to get outside, Swope Park, the city's largest green space, is about 5 miles south.

Popular ones include Lincoln College Preparatory Academy in Wendell Phillips and the Paseo Academy of Fine and Performing Arts in Blue Hills.

Where residents go for shopping, dining and nightlife

For most shopping, dining and entertainment, you’ll have to head outside the neighborhood. Luckily, some of Kansas City's most popular destinations are less than 5 miles away, including:

  • Crown Center, home to family-friendly attractions like the Sea Life aquarium and the Legoland Discovery Center
  • The Crossroads, an arts district known for its monthly First Fridays block party
  • Old Westport, packed with bars, live music venues and locally owned stores
  • The Country Club Plaza, a 15-block shopping district with Spanish-style architecture and stores like Sephora, Lululemon and Nike

Major highways and public transportation are easily accessible

I-70 and U.S. Route 71 border Ingleside and both provide direct routes to downtown Kansas City, about 5 miles away. Depending on traffic, the drive usually takes around 10 to 20 minutes. The highways also lead to suburbs like Leawood, roughly 12 miles away, and Lee's Summit, about 20 miles away. If you rely on public transportation to get around, RideKC bus routes run along Indiana Avenue and 27th Street.
