Walkable midtown location suits active lifestyles
West Plaza attracts those seeking a walkable urban lifestyle in midtown Kansas City. It's especially appealing to young professionals and empty nesters, says Paul Galbrecht, a Realtor with Keller Williams who recently bought a home in the neighborhood. "This is not a cookie-cutter neighborhood," Galbrecht says. Single-family homes and a few condos sit alongside older, elegant apartment buildings just footsteps away from shops and restaurants. "It's a charming, kind of like a storybook neighborhood," he says.
Diverse housing options appeal to broad range of buyers
West Plaza's tree-lined streets feature a variety of architectural styles, including Craftsman bungalows, Prairie-style, Tudor-inspired and newer, modern homes. Some homes date from the neighborhood's early days as a home to the city's working class, who labored in the meatpacking industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Condo developments that sprang up during the 1960s and 1970s still remain. "It's a very established neighborhood with a mature landscape. You have old original homes to rehab and some that can be a complete teardown. And it's still a reasonably priced neighborhood close into the city," Galbrecht says. Prices range from $150,000 to $1.5 million. Most single-family homes sell for between $300,000 and $400,000. Mid-century-era condos sell for between $150,000 and $250,000 while newer, modern homes and condos can sell for over $1 million.

Shopping and dining options nearby at Country Club Plaza
West Plaza's location, footsteps away from the Country Club Plaza, attracts many buyers like Galbrecht. "Absolutely, the Plaza" is a main attraction, he says, not only for its walkability but for its long-term property value. "The big thing is the Plaza. I do believe that over time, you are still going to see residual value on the Plaza," he says. National stores like Tiffany & Co. and The Apple Store sit alongside locally owned shops like Made in KC Marketplace and Razzleberry on The Plaza. Locally owned bars and restaurants like Dun & Gram, The Granfaloon, Rye and Jack Stack Barbecue stay busy year-round. National chains like P.F. Chang's and Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse are also on the Plaza. Nearby Old Westport is home to longtime K.C. nightlife haunts like Kelly's, where a raucous party is guaranteed every St. Patrick's Day. Several grocery stores are within 2 miles of Plaza Westport, including Midtown Market, Whole Foods and Marsh's Sun Fresh Market.
