A hub for daily life in Whitehouse

Downtown Whitehouse is just one small part of the city of Whitehouse, but it’s where most residents’ daily life happens. The community is home to several schools, a large church, retailers and the beloved Wildcat Stadium, where the Whitehouse High football team plays. The stadium once served as the home field to Patrick Mahomes, the current Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and 2014 Whitehouse alum. “I think that’s the most famous thing about Whitehouse,” says Annie Dwyer, a broker for Brooklyn Rose Realty Group who sells throughout the area.

A mix of ranch-style and New Traditional houses

The homes in Downtown Whitehouse are mostly three- and four-bedroom ranch-style, though there are some New Traditionals, too. Many sit in subdivisions on the neighborhood's edges on grassy lawns with tall trees. They rarely go on the market, but when they do, they generally sell for around $300,000. The residential streets are quiet and wide enough for residents to jog or walk dogs.
