Pendleton Heights has classic homes, green space and downtown access
A step into Pendleton Heights is an immersion in history. The community is considered the second-oldest residential neighborhood in Kansas City, behind only Quality Hill. Pendleton Heights’ deep roots show through its turn-of-the-century architecture, including the city’s largest selection of Victorian-style homes. The area’s residential blocks fade into the pastoral Kessler Park on the northern end of the neighborhood, placing an over 300-acre outdoor getaway at residents’ fingertips. Assorted restaurants and other businesses line thoroughfares like Lexington and Independence avenues, and downtown is only about 3 miles away.
Many of Pendleton Heights' homes are well over a century old.
Queen Anne and Victorian homes abound in Pendleton Heights.

Character-filled homes at relatively affordable prices
Pendleton Heights features block after block of Victorian and Queen Anne homes, many of them well over 100 years old. Turrets, wraparound porches, soaring rooflines and original millwork shape the streetscape in the neighborhood, which is part of Kansas City’s Historic Northeast area. “You have beautiful Victorian and Queen Anne homes you won’t find anywhere else in the city,” says local Realtor Kyle Talbot, who’s the CEO of Moving to KC with Keller Williams Kansas City Metro with several years of experience in the industry. Classic bungalows, colonials and shirtwaist-style homes round out the mix in Pendleton Heights. Conditions vary widely. Some homes have been carefully restored while preserving original plasterwork and custom-milled wood, and others remain largely untouched projects.
Most properties in Pendleton Heights, including multifamily options, sell for prices from the mid-$100,000s to the upper $400,000s. “Compared to other historic neighborhoods in the city, Pendleton Heights is a steal,” Talbot says. The neighborhood’s median sale price of roughly $250,000 is slightly less than the citywide median of about $290,000. Over 70% of Pendleton Heights’ residents rent their properties.
