Suburbia meets the outdoors in Northland Kansas City
A coveted suburb in Northland Kansas City, Ridgefield is beloved for its forested, creekside trails that run through the neighborhood. “Because the parks are so close, the neighborhood has this back-to-nature kind of feeling to it. But you’re also close to a lot of amenities,” says Sarah Harrison, a Realtor with Hills Real Estate who is from Kansas City. Here, students are zoned for highly rated schools, and local restaurants, family entertainment and big-box stores are all within a few miles of the neighborhood’s network of cul-de-sacs. Of course, Ridgefield’s suburban setting can always be exchanged for an urban escapade, as downtown Kansas City is just 11 miles away.
