Vineyard Estates centers around convenience

Whether you want to live mere minutes from Kansas City’s core or have a quick commute to work, convenience is a constant in Vineyard Estates. The neighborhood is sandwiched between several major thoroughfares and an industrial sector that includes Hiland Dairy and Harvesters Food Bank. “There are a few factories in the area, so many people live and work here,” says Marline Brown, a Realtor with Murrell Homes. “But even if someone doesn’t work at one of those places, it's close to so much more. You can get to all of downtown KC in less than 15 minutes.”

Vineyard Estates is a few minutes southeast of downtown Kansas City by car or bus.

Ranch-style homes line residential streets

The neighborhood is filled with minimal traditional ranch styles from the 1950s. They cost anywhere between $80,000 and $130,000, a range significantly lower than a Kansas City home's average $250,000 selling price. For this amount of money, the houses have two to three bedrooms, private driveways and plenty of promise. “It’s a good area to invest in because the prices are low and the location is great, so a few of the houses have updated exteriors and new kitchens and bathrooms,” says Brown.

Ranch-style homes with wide front lawns and ample parking are available in Vineyard Estates.

From local parks to Arrowhead Stadium

While the neighborhood is predominantly industrial, it’s also surrounded by green space. Run around the playground at Vineyard Park or conquer the ropes course at Dunbar Park, which are both less than 1-mile away. Head to Blue Banks Park, where you can access the 4-mile Brush Creek Trail. As you wander the paved path, you’ll pass the flowing namesake waterway, a whimsical waterfall and bright pink dogwood trees. It also leads to the Country Club Plaza area, where you can shop 15 blocks of commercial options or view over 40,000 art pieces at The Nelson-Atkins Museum. The neighborhood is also less than 4 miles from Arrowhead Stadium, home of the recent Superbowl-winning Kansas City Chiefs. Next door is Kauffman Stadium, where you can watch the Royals play against other MLB teams.

Groceries and barbecue are just minutes from home

Vineyard Estates' location along Emanuel Cleaver II Boulevard means you can easily access other Kansas City hot spots, like all the restaurants in Westport or the bars in Power & Light. Even though these important entertainment districts are nearby, residents will find a few essentials even closer. For instance, grab groceries at Sun Fresh, about 3 miles away on Blue Parkway. The street also has a few locally owned eateries, including L.C.’s Bar-B-Q. Since 1986, the restaurant has served award-winning fare, and the slow-cooked pork burnt ends smothered in the signature sauce is a favorite among locals.

Vineyard Estates residents can find groceries at the Blue Parkway Sun Fresh Market in MO.
