Older south K.C. neighborhood brings the class and charm
Oak Meyer Gardens is an elegant, older south Kansas City neighborhood with towering, leafy trees. Over three-quarters of its residents own their homes, many of which were built in the early 20th century with careful craftsmanship and high-quality materials. Locals are within a few miles of three of south Kansas City’s favorite neighborhoods: Brookside, Waldo and Country Club Plaza. They’re also just two miles from the state line, where Prairie Village, Kansas, lies on the other side.

Spacious, elegant homes line quiet streets
The neighborhood includes various architectural styles with brick, stone and siding, including Tudor, Craftsman, New Colonial and Cape Cods. Some houses have a garage in front, and some have detached garages located behind the house. Residents park on the street and in their driveways. Most homes are multi-story and have three or four bedrooms. Many have sprawling lawns with neat shrubbery, gardens, and shady trees. Although it’s possible to find listings in the $300,000s, prices are usually in the $400,000 to $600,000 range. The median price is $425,000. Homes here stay on the market for 20 days, compared to 42 days, the national average. Mature trees and generous sidewalks on either side of the Street make walking, running and pushing a stroller more bearable during the hot K.C. summers.

Locals are close to popular events like the Plaza Art Fair
Every September, local and national artists set up booths at the Plaza Art Fair where a quarter million visitors can browse and buy unique paintings, drawings, jewelry, and glasswork. “It’s a huge event. It’s massive. They shut down the whole Plaza so people can walk around and have fun,” says Alex Owens, a realtor with Malfer and Associates-Compass Realty Group who’s been selling in the area since 2016. She says it’s hard to be bored living in this part of town. “You can do something different any day of the week. You can be cultured and look at artworks, take a yoga class, watch a game at the Granfalloon, or enjoy a signature cocktail at Gram & Dun,” she says.
