A redeveloping pocket of Kansas City's Historic Northeast

Paseo West gets its name from The Paseo, the longest and oldest boulevard in Kansas City. Nearby major highways and a prime Historic Northeast location near downtown have made Paseo West appealing to long-time locals, investors and business owners. "It's emerging, it's up and coming," says Steven Jennings, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty who was born and raised in Kansas City. "It's a slow movement, but there's definitely a movement to bringing companies and houses into that neighborhood." Programs from local organizations like Paseo Gateway and the University of Missouri-Kansas City's Center for Neighborhoods are pouring investment into bringing new businesses to the area.

Prime location near downtown K.C.

Interstates 29, 70 and 670 all run next to Paseo West. The neighborhood's proximity to these interstates, downtown, and the nightlife of the Power and Light District has helped bring more investor interest to the area. "It's emerging because of the centralized location to the highways, but it's still a very niche area," Jennings says. The Paseo runs along the neighborhood's east side and has Ride KC bus stops. More bus stops are in the commercial district along Eighth, Ninth and 10th streets. Samuel U. Rodgers Health Center on Euclid Avenue and the Children's Mercy Hospital campus on Gillham Road are within 2 miles of the community, and Kansas City International Airport is 20 miles away on the city's north side.

A few local restaurants are in the neighborhood's northwest corner. Yasmeen Café on Independence Avenue serves East African dishes such as goat, lamb and chicken suqaar. Harold's Drive-In serves up classic burgers and fries a block away on Admiral Boulevard. Locals can grocery shop at Aldi on The Paseo or at the City Market outdoor shopping center on East Fifth Street, which hosts a daily farmers market. More shops and restaurants may soon be coming. Evie Craig, the president of the Paseo West Neighborhood Association, notes that The Paseo Gateway project and the University of Missouri-Kansas City's Center for Neighborhoods are investing millions in bringing more businesses to the area by updating the roads and parks around The Paseo and Independence Avenue.

Along The Paseo's greenway

Margaret Kemp Park on East 10th Street is the community's central park, with green fields and walking paths that have a direct view of the downtown skyline. On the other side of the neighborhood, The Paseo is surrounded by a greenway connecting to Kessler Park, known for its walking trails. Belvidere Park has a full-length basketball court and playground. Houses of worship, including St. Monica Catholic Church and Al Taqwa Islamic Center of Kansas City, also border the greenway. On the southern end of The Paseo are two local museums — the Black Archives of Mid-America on East 17th Terrace and the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum on East 18th Street. Both museums have photo and art exhibits that highlight Black history. The Blue Room Jazz Club, the American Jazz Walk of Fame and the historic Gem Theater are also on 18th Street.
