Quiet suburban life convenient to major thoroughfares
Southmoor Gardens blends 1950s Overland Park charm with modern-day suburban living 10 miles west of Kansas City. This quiet enclave of around 300 homes is situated off major thoroughfares that make it easy to get around the metro area but secluded from the busyness of the roadways. “It’s nice to come off a main road and turn into tree-lined streets. It’s a tucked away little area with ranch-style living just off Metcalf,” says Porsche Brown, a Realtor with KW Kansas City Metro who’s been selling homes in the area for five years.
Corner lots in Southmoor Gardens can have half circle driveways on half an acre lot.
