Walkable downtown businesses in Overland Park
Known as the heartbeat of Overland Park, Downtown Overland Park is on either side of Metcalf Street between 78th and 83rd Streets. While the city dates to 1905 and downtown once flourished with horse-drawn carriages along the Santa Fe Trail, today the area has been renovated with the Clock Tower Plaza and Farmers Market Pavilion, is home to almost 300 locally owned and operated businesses and is the site of many of the city’s events. “People like living downtown because you can walk to everything, says Christine Dunn, a Realtor with Keller Williams Partners, who has been selling Overland Park for nearly 20 years. “There is always something going on from the Farmers Market to holiday festivals. The area has a great vibe.”

Commercial and dining hubs along busy sidewalks
Overland Park is home to almost 300 locally owned and operated businesses, many of which call downtown home. This gives locals many options on where to pick up groceries, grab a bite to eat, or watch a beloved Kansas City Royals or Chiefs game. Residents can head south on Antioch Road to pick up groceries from the Price Chopper. Overland Park has a handful of pedestrian-friendly shopping districts, including one downtown that features fashion stores such as Ensemble, Pretty Posy, and We Got Your Back Apparel. Named for American railroad magnate William B. Strang Jr. who platted Overland Park, Strang Hall has one of its three locations in Overland Park and offers vast menu options. Another local favorite is Maloney’s Sports Bar, a two-story bar with an upstairs outdoor patio and a great place to catch a Chiefs or Royals game.

Branching single-family blocks and subdivisions
A few streets away from the hustle and bustle of the events and retail are tucked-away subdivisions under the umbrella of old-growth trees. Ranch-style, craftsman homes and Cape Cods are spaced out along winding roads. Property lots have decently sized and well-maintained yards, a driveway and a garage. Prices range from $211,000 to $696,000, but buyers can expect a two-bedroom ranch-style to sell for $240,000, while a four-bedroom Cape Cod will go for around $375,000. “Buyers are slightly more hesitant, but that has not slowed the market. It is a popular place to live, and the prices reflect that,” Dunn says.
