Western 49-63 is perhaps Kansas City’s most creatively named neighborhood. Deriving its name from its location between 49th Street on Brush Creek and 63rd Street in the city’s southern suburbs, this neighborhood is home to nine blocks of tree-shaded residences with easy access to both commercial outlets and the city’s largest university.

The streets of this neighborhood are home mostly to single-floor houses such as bungalows and ranches, and houses built in the classic Tudor and Colonial styles bring an extra dose of character and diversity to this community. Western 49-63’s streets stand out among Kansas City’s other neighborhoods due to the presence of “tree tunnels” on virtually every street, with the vast majority of streets being shaded by lush greenery. Homes in the neighborhood tend to have sizeable front yards with access to sidewalks, and this, together with the natural shade, provides residents with plenty of scenic strolling opportunities just around the corner.

Western 49-63 is located just south of the University of Missouri-Kansas City, the largest university in the city. This sprawling campus is two blocks to the north of Western 49-63, and this university is known for its large student body, its hundreds of student organizations, and its status as the only NCAA Division I university in the Kansas City area. Immediately next door to UMKC is the smaller Rockhurst University, a private Jesuit college which provides an education focused both on academic achievement and on Jesuit values such as community service.

This neighborhood also has access to the large New Landing Mall, whose amenities include an Aldi grocery store, a Walgreens pharmacy, a dozen restaurants, and clothing and shoe stores, among others. A favorite local restaurant, Wah Gwan, serves Jamaican classics such as jerk chicken and stew in a relaxed, beach house-themed interior.

Western 49-63 residents have access to both Rockhill Road and Brookside Boulevard, providing them with easy access to the heart of Kansas City.

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.
