Walkable neighborhood near Country Club Plaza, St. Luke's Hospital

Walkable neighborhood near Country Club Plaza, St. Luke's Hospital
Plaza Westport is packed with quirky cafes and pubs, art galleries, world-class shopping and health care all within walking distance. Nearly a quarter of the neighborhood is devoted to Saint Luke's Hospital to the northeast, making this a convenient neighborhood for hospital workers and students who work at Saint Luke’s, the third-largest private employer in the metro area.

Plaza Westport includes a lot of apartment and condo buildings and a small number of single-family homes. “Its proximity to Saint Luke's attracts investors seeking to rent to hospital staff and students,” says Porsche S. Brown, a Realtor with KW who's been selling homes in the Kansas City metro area for five years. "You see quite a few people here who are traveling nurses or students looking for a cost-efficient way to live close to the hospital or the Plaza," Brown says. Plaza Westport offers urban living at its casual best. Downtown Kansas City is 3 miles to the north.

Bungalows, century-old condo buildings and new luxury construction

Condos and town homes comprise most of the neighborhood's housing, but there are some turn-of-the-century and new single-family homes. "The area has a lot of classic condos,” Brown says. “Some are 50 to 100 years old, but newer renovations are coming right off Madison Avenue and Summit Street." Parkway Plaza and The Tudors are among the newer developments. These luxury townhomes, built in 2019, can sell for up to $1.5 million for two bedrooms. Condominiums in older buildings like the Brentwood Condominiums, Parkway Towers and The Brownstones on Broadway can sell for between $200,000 and $300,000. Bungalows and American Foursquares built in the early 1900s sell for between $250,000 and $490,000. In contrast, new luxury Craftsman-inspired homes at Plaza Heights sell in the $700,000s. Homeowners Association fees vary significantly among condos, from $250 per month to over $1,000 per month for luxury developments like The Tudors.

Luxury townhomes can sell for up to 1.5 million for a unit with 2 bedrooms.

Century-old Mill Creek Park offers workout stations alongside trail

Mill Creek Park hugs the eastern edge of Plaza Westport, a lush green space with a shaded paved pathway lined with exercise stations. The 11-acre space is home to Kansas City's iconic fountain featuring four horsemen representing four of the world's mighty rivers and children playing atop giant fish. This is a popular spot for wedding pictures, a cool reprieve from summer heat and a longtime gathering spot for protesters on issues of concern. The public Plaza Tennis Center, with 14 lighted courts, is across the fountain. Mill Creek Parkway has a higher chance of flooding.
