Whimsical homes in Rockhill
Rockhill's roads vary from tree-shaded side streets to broader main throughways. Iron fences give way to four-bedroom colonial homes and massive, whimsical Tudor Revivals. Occasionally, autumn-colored ranch homes will break up the larger estates. Whatever style it may be, homes often hit the market between $598,000 and $630,000. Residences rarely hit the market, but when one does, it isn't sold for nearly 2 months.

KC School District students enjoy book fairs
Students can attend Longfellow Elementary School, which shares a C-minus Niche grade with Rosedale Middle School and Central High School. Kansas City School District students take advantage of the KC Central Public Library. The University of Kansas is about 43 miles away.Parks along Brush Creek and nearby Missouri River
Rockhill is embraced by the winding walking trails of Robert Gillham Park and adjoined Hyde Park to the north, offering residents a long stretch of preserved nature. Likewise, to the south, the Kauffman Legacy Park offers scenic strolls around a lake and play areas for children. Neighboring Kauffman is the Frank A. Theis Park and Martin Luther King Jr. Square Park, right along Brush Creek. Several country clubs exist around the community, such as the Kansas City and Mission Hills Country Clubs. A list of all the outdoor recreation options near Rockhill would only be complete by mentioning the paddle boarding, fishing, shoreside volleyball courts and more by the Missouri River.

Country Club Plaza and Restaurant Row on 39th
Rockhill neighbors the famed commercial hub of Country Club Plaza, a Moorish-style shopping center with dozens of retail outlets and restaurants, like Winstead's, an old-fashioned diner established in 1940. Along Westport Road, several small businesses are housed in historic brick storefronts. It's the site of several restaurants, from familiar chains to popular local plates at Char Bar, Jazz A Louisiana Kitchen on 39th Street and The Pressed Penny Tavern, which serves drinks and gourmet dishes such as eggs benedict and steak frites. There's the Westport Flea Market, alongside music, clothing and bookstores. Locals enjoy unique breakfast plates at Snooze, an AM Eatery, before stopping at the neighboring Marsh's Sun Fresh Market for groceries and ending the day at Offkey Karaoke Lounge and Beer Kitchen. Another commercial strip along 45th Street features a cluster of antique and houseware stores, and north of Rockhill sits Crown Center near Penn Valley Park, home to Legoland, an aquarium and shopping center.

Neighboring Uptown Theatre
While some events are unique to Rockhill, like Southmoreland Park's Shakespeare in the Park, events occur all around the city, like the Jazz Walk of Fame at 18th and Vine, Midtown's St. Paddy's Day parade and Celebration at the Station, the Midwest's largest Memorial Day weekend event. Historic landmarks are sprinkled close to Rockhill, such as the 1920s Uptown Theatre, a renovated performing arts and concert venue.
Getting around Rockhill and KC
While neighboring communities are walkable, like Valentine and Westport, the city is expansive, so taking the KC Streetcar or owning a private vehicle is necessary. This community is located along Gillham Road and Emanuel II Cleaver Boulevard, allowing residents to drive or take the bus to Downtown Kansas City. Union Station provides Amtrak near Crown Center and Penn Valley Park, and nearby highways include Interstate 35, I-70, US Highway 71 and Hwy 169 to the west. Saint Luke's Hospital of Kansas City is 1 mile away, and roughly 22 miles northwest is the Kansas City International Airport.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
