Roeland Park offers Kansas City access for competitive prices
Johnson County, where Roeland Park resides, is one of the most popular places to live within the Kansas City metropolitan area. Unsurprisingly, home prices here are high here, but Roeland Park remains the most affordable place to live in the area. “The draw really is the price point and character of the homes. Most were built in the ‘50s and many have solid stone foundations. A lot of first-time home buyers are choosing this neighborhood as their destination,” says Realtor Nick Massa of Nick Massa Real Estate Group. Massa lives in Roeland Park. Roeland Park’s location also contributes to its desirability as living here places you right next to all of Kansas City’s main roads and shopping centers. “There are tons of mom-and-pop shops, restaurants and bars within walking distance,” Massa says.
