Royal Oaks Homes for Rent

Royal Oaks in Kansas City is a residential neighborhood located 11 miles south of Kauffman Stadium, bordered to the north by Interstates 470 and 49. Despite its proximity to major highways, the area maintains a tranquil atmosphere due to a large strip of undeveloped land that buffers noise. The neighborhood features traditional homes from the 1950s and newer, with lots ranging from a quarter-acre to a full acre, and amenities such as one- or two-car garages, screened-in porches, and patio pads. Students in Royal Oaks attend Warford Elementary, Smith-Hale Middle School, and Ruskin High, with the Dale M. Thompson Trails West State School serving those with disabilities. Jerry Darter Park, located just across I-470, offers a 24-acre space with a playset, hiking trail, and picnic shelter, while the less crowded Gambril Tract provides a walking bridge and gravel path. Although Royal Oaks lacks dining options within its boundaries, nearby Fox and Bull bakery and Paul’s Drive In, 3 miles east, offer popular local treats. Additional amenities, including restaurants and shops like Chipotle, Wendy’s, CitiTrends, and Price Chopper, can be found a few miles south at Truman’s Marketplace. The neighborhood's crime rate is lower than the national average, making it a safer area for residents.
