Northland subdivision is a quiet retreat that appeals to families, professionals and retirees
Northland subdivision is a quiet retreat that appeals to families, professionals and retirees The soundscape of The Coves includes chirping birds and squeaking sneakers and the thud of basketballs against the backboard as kids practice hoops on their driveways. This small, planned subdivision in northwest Kansas City attracts families, professionals and retirees seeking a retreat-like setting close to everything they need.
"Most people are shocked when they visit and often say 'I had no idea this was back here,'" longtime area resident who lives next door to The Coves Jim Menown says.
Many move here to avoid traffic and high housing costs associated with more expensive suburbs in Johnson County, Kansas. Located 14 miles north of downtown Kansas City, this tree-shaded Northland neighborhood is only 8 miles from the new Kansas City International Airport.
“Logistically, it’s just easier and simpler, and traffic is not what it is in the Kansas suburbs. I purposely moved north to avoid the hassle of OP and Leawood. People who live here seem more laidback, not quite in the same rat race,” he says.
Single-family homes, duplexes and town houses line curvy streets
The Coves is an older community that used to be “the place” to live for people who wanted a lifestyle upgrade, JR Radtka says. Radtke is a Realtor with Reece Nichols, who has been selling homes in the area for 25 years.
“The Coves is kind of a move-up neighborhood for people who have outgrown their first homes or maybe want to be closer to the airport. The houses are still nice and well-located, less than 10 minutes from the airport and 20 minutes to Country Club Plaza,” Radtka says.
The subdivision includes a range of housing options including single-family homes, duplexes town houses and apartments. Homes here sell twice as fast as the U.S. average. Even though it’s a planned community, homes here offer a lot of variety, including split-levels, Tudors, ranch-style and traditional. It’s not gated but does include a residents-only pool and clubhouse.
“It’s a planned community with many good custom builders and many different home designs and styles,” he says.
Prices range from $175,000 to $550,000. Smaller homes and townhomes sell for between $185,000 and $220,000. Larger, two-story homes with generous yards and at least four bedrooms sell for between $400,000 and $550,000.
