Glenwood Business District
Shopping and dining on Metcalf Avenue
Shopping centers fill each of the corners of the intersection of West 95th Street and Metcalf Avenue. Locals can shop for groceries at the Walmart Neighborhood Market or Dollar Tree or try the Southeast Asian grocery store Ambica Foods, which has been open for 30 years. The shopping center also includes the electronic store Micro Center and a Chiefs Fit, where locals can work with trainers from the NFL franchise Kansas City Chiefs. Multiple restaurants offer unique dining experiences. Play classic board games while waiting on a meal at Cardboard Corner Café, enjoy a wood-fired steak from J. Gilbert’s, or enjoy a show with dinner at the New Theater and Restaurant.Townhouses, ranch-styles and split-levels
Away from the hustle and bustle of the nearby shopping centers, subdivisions are under the shade of old-growth trees. Along winding neighborhood roads, brick ranch styles and split levels are perched on thin, rectangular lots. Streets are lined with sidewalks that allow people to walk to nearby shopping. While houses are close together, properties have front and back yard space. Multiple apartment and townhouse complexes supplement the home inventory in the area. Prices range from $165,000 to $788,000, but buyers can expect a three-bedroom split-level for around $300,000. “In my 32 years, this is the best I have ever seen the market. Even with the high interest rates, people are still getting multiple offers and properties are moving,” Kiloh says.
Plenty of park options nearby
While there is technically no park inside the Glenwood Business District, there are plenty of opportunities for locals to be active. One of the closest options is South Lake Park, which is a 14-acre space that features fishing, a playground, and a walking-loop trail. For an additional cost, locals can join the Overland Park Racquet Club, the largest tennis facility in Kansas City. The club has 24 indoor and outdoor courts for tennis and pickleball and a fitness and health club.Overland Park Farmers Market and more
Exactly 2 miles from downtown Overland Park, locals can quickly take advantage of multiple city events. For another grocery option, the Overland Park Farmers Market runs seasonally on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The city also organizes numerous community events throughout the year, including a St. Patrick’s Day Parade and a Fall Festival.RideKC or major highways
Glenwood Business District is along the RideKC 401 Metcalf-Plaza bus line. Public transportation commuters can hop aboard at the stop on West 95th Street and ride the line into downtown Kansas City, Missouri. Two significant roadways – U.S. Route 69 and Interstate 435 - are close to the neighborhood. US-69 runs north to south from Minnesota to Texas, while I-435 is an auxiliary highway of Interstate 35 and is a loop around Kansas City.Attending Shawnee Mission School District
Children attend the Shawnee Mission School District, which scores an A-minus on Niche and is the third-largest district in the state. The school path will vary based on location, but one potential option is John Diemer Elementary, Indian Woods Middle and Shawnee Mission South High School. Both the elementary and high school score an A on Niche, while the middle school grades an A-minus. Shawnee Mission South offers a fine arts department, multiple clubs and an athletics program.
Johnson County Museum exhibits
Another entertainment venue in the Glenwood Business District is the Johnson County Museum. The museum tells the story of how the county came to be, and one of its signature exhibits is an all-electric 1950s house. Other exhibits rotate throughout the year, including current and past exhibitions on trains, Coney Island and the Wizard of Oz.
