Walmer homes next door to office spaces
Walmer is a small Overland Park neighborhood where professionals who work in the neighborhood’s ample office spaces can walk home for lunch. The Cloverleaf Office Park, home to several finance and marketing firms, borders Walmer’s residential section. Primarily a commercial district, homes comprise less than 20% of the property space. It’s close to work, shopping, dining and park space with easy access to major highways leading to downtown Kansas City 8 miles away. “Walmer’s a very family-friendly neighborhood," says Angel Salcedo, a Realtor with Keller Williams Kansas City Metro, who grew up in Walmer. “What I love most is that it’s a very walkable neighborhood. I didn’t ever feel nervous walking around, and there are many quaint parks in the area where you can take your dog for a walk.” The neighborhood’s overall CAP Index crime score is 2 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.
The midcentury-style neighborhood features tidy streets and big yards
The most common architectural styles in this neighborhood are ranch and split-level homes from the mid-to-late 1900s. Properties tend to have large backyards occasionally adorned with patios and decks. Most addresses have long driveways, which allow homeowners to avoid street parking, while some also feature an attached garage. Home prices range from $300,000 to $600,000, but they rarely come on the market as people tend to stay.
Large lawns with mature trees make Walmer streets beautiful in any season.
Homes with multiple materials can be found in the Walmer neighborhood.
