Riverside suburban living within minutes of downtown K.C.

Parkville is on the shores of the Missouri River and has a historic downtown a little more than 10 miles northwest of Kansas City. Featuring a rolling landscape between downtown Kansas City and the Kansas City International Airport, the city offers a suburban lifestyle with upscale housing, a dedicated park system and community events. The city has seen a 19% population increase and has become an alternative to city living. “We’re full of smalltown charm but right near Kansas City,” says Dani Beyer, managing broker at Keller Williams Realty. “We’re very close to the airport and just a highway away from Overland Park.”

Lakefront property comes at a premium

Housing prices vary depending on the location in the city. Closer to downtown, properties, some even historic, range from ranch-style to Tudor-inspired and American Foursquare and are valued between $240,000 and $400,000. “Downtown has all the historic homes, most on Main Street,” Beyer says. Custom-built properties that border Riss Lake or on the National Golf Course quickly get over the $1 million mark. “We have a great blend of home styles and sizes. It’s very diverse,” Beyer says. The median price is $630,000, well above the national median.

Important to know

Summer highs reach the 90s, and winter lows dip into the 20s. Missouri is part of Tornado Alley, and twisters touched down in 2024. “We do get tornadoes, so buying a house with a basement is very important. We also get snow, hail, and ice,” Beyer says.

According to the FBI Crime Data Explorer, violent crime reports have been low but have remained steady since 2015. Property crime reports have fluctuated since 2015, decreasing between 2022 and 2023.
