Walkable neighborhood streets in Overland Park
Located a stone’s throw away from downtown Overland Park and just about 12 miles from Kansas City, Elmhurst provides homebuyers with urban living in the comfort of a neighborhood. With shopping centers in every direction, including the largest mall in Kansas on the west side, shopping and dining options are a quick drive away. “It’s a small neighborhood, for sure,” says Christine Dunn, a Realtor with Keller Williams Partners, who has been selling the Overland Park market for almost two decades. “But you can find everything you need at one of the nearby shopping centers. It is also close to highways, which is important in this area because once you reach the highway, you can get anywhere in 15 minutes.”
Established streets of single-family homes
Under the shade of old-growth trees, narrow streets are lined with a collection of mid-20th century architectural styles, including ranches, bungalows and colonial revivals with attached garages. Properties are on narrow rectangular lots with compact front yards featuring driveways and garages. Prices in Elmhurst range from about $189,000 to $472,000, but buyers can expect a three-bedroom ranch-style to go for around $285,000, while a four-bedroom colonial revival will rise to approximately $390,000. “The market is still strong but slightly different and unpredictable. If homes are priced right, we are seeing multiple offers, and those properties move quickly, but it does seem that buyers are a bit more hesitant these days,” Dunn says.

Playgrounds at Strang Park and Louisburg Square
Home to Overland Park’s first inclusive playground, Strang Park, was updated by the city twice in 2021 and 2022. The inclusive playground features a 30-foot slide, sensory tunnel, and in-ground trampolines, while younger children can take advantage of the toddler area with farmers market-themed structures. Strang Park includes fun for all ages, though, as its loop walking trail features inspirational quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream Speech,” a gaming area with cornhole boards and covered shelters for family gatherings and newly done tennis and basketball courts. On a smaller scale, Louisburg Square Park is another green space spanning just over an acre with a small playground and accompanying picnic tables.
