Ward Estates
Ward Estates more than lives up to its elegant name with its palatial homes, its tree-tunneled streets, and its proximity to the scenic Jacob L. Loose Park.
The streets of this neighborhood are lined with homes built in historical styles, from Tudors to Colonials and Federalists. These homes tend to have large front lawns and broad driveways, and the streets are flanked by sidewalks and shaded by arches of trees, creating a tunnel of shade and scenery under which residents can both drive and stroll.
Adding to the scenery of Ward Estates is Jacob L. Loose Park, a 75-acre park with its own dose of history. The site of the 1864 Battle of Westport during the Civil War, this park features a resplendent rose garden and an ornate fountain, as well as plenty of green space and walking trails for outdoor recreation.
Ward Estates is located along the Ward Parkway, a major thoroughfare which is accompanied by a scenic green belt. Additionally, its location along Wornall Road facilitates travel north to the famed Country Club Plaza shopping center and the heart of Kansas City beyond.

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.
