New neighborhoods and centuries of history combined
It’s not Kansas City proper, and it’s not North Kansas City – the Northland has its own special identity. This widespread area sits 17 miles from the hustle and bustle of downtown KC and runs alongside the historic town of Liberty and outlying Clay County. In the Northland, locals and visitors can find centuries of history and culture, thousands of acres of parks, some of the best schools in the county and hundreds of newly built homes for a wide range of budgets. “It’s pretty much a laidback suburban type of area. It’s an area that grew up from farmland, and now they have many highway arteries that go through it that makes it very accessible,” says Larry Eckhoff, a real estate associate and president of the Eckhoff Group with Re/Max Heritage. This former stretch of rural land is now one of the fastest-growing neighborhoods in the metro.
The subdivisions of Northland Clay County offer a variety of housing option.
Staley Farms located in the the Northland has larger golf course homes.

Northland brings new housing for every budget
As Northland is quickly developing, so is its housing stock. Most homes hitting the market are multistory builds constructed after 2000. “The new construction is the most attractive in the city right now,” Eckhoff says. “As far as being able to find a brand-new home, the pricing and so forth in the Northland is better than any other part of the city.” Some of the area’s subdivisions are so new that homes are located on dirt lots that have not been fully landscaped. Completed subdivisions are filled with sidewalks, curving streets, and large front and backyards. In addition to these new builds, Northland also offers some townhomes, midcentury ranch homes and Tudor Revival-inspired properties. The price range swings broadly between $350,000 for a 1,500 square foot house and over $1 million for a 5,000 square foot custom build, but most properties fall between the $450,000 to $650,000 range.
These rows of townhomes gives variety of housing options in Northland Clay County.

North Kansas City Schools are Clay County’s best
The Northland is wide-reaching enough that the area is zoned under multiple school districts. Most students can attend the North Kansas City Schools system, with schools like Rising Hill Elementary School, the Gateway 6th Grade Center, and Staley High School, which all have an A score on Niche. Niche also named Rising Hill and Staley the best elementary and high school in Clay County, respectively. Students on the east side of the community might be zoned into Liberty Schools. In this district, Shoal Creek Elementary School has an A on Niche, while Discovery Middle School and Liberty High School have an A-minus. The University of Missouri Kansas City is 20 miles from the center of the Northland for a close-by higher education option.
Rising Hill Elementary School was established in 2018.
Staley High School provides a safe and enriching environment for students.
