Relative affordability near Swope Park
Oldham Farms is an affordable suburb on the cusp of South Kansas City. Here, undeveloped forest gives way to grid-like streets of ranch-style homes from the 1950s. People here enjoy proximity to Swope Park — the Kansas City parks department's self-proclaimed “crown jewel” — as well as convenient shopping and local and chain restaurants. Employment and entertainment in Overland Park or downtown Kansas City are within a 12-mile drive. Still, prices are a main selling point, as homes are generally below the Kansas City median.

Oldham Farms' ranch-style homes
Affordability is a draw here, as homes typically range between $75,000 and $250,000. “You really get a lot for your money,” says Pat Grace, a Realtor with United Real Estate Kanas City who has more than 20 years of experience. “The price points are lower, so it’s great for first-time homebuyers.” The neighborhood is mostly composed of three-bedroom ranch-style homes from the 1950s, and price is dependent on upgrades made to the property. Buyers can expect to put a bit of elbow grease into the area’s least expensive homes.
