Midcentury homes and proximity to Downtown Columbia

Less than a mile from the Broad River, the Hyatt Park neighborhood is minutes from nature and Columbia's bustling downtown. Like the nearby neighborhoods of Earlewood and the Elmwood Park Historic District, Hyatt Park has a historic feel, with midcentury homes surrounded by mature trees. North Main Street, a major thoroughfare for Columbia, borders the neighborhood and plays a central role in an area improvement project called the North Main Street Project. The efforts have resulted in more businesses coming to this section of the city. "I really have been encouraged by the energy and the revitalization the city has put into our Main Street," says Mary Lane Sloan, a lifelong resident of the Columbia area and Realtor with The ART of Real Estate. Hyatt Park also has a high concentration of churches, including houses of worship for Jehovah's Witnesses and Methodists.

Ranch homes on wooded roads

One of the biggest draws for potential residents is Hyatt Park's affordable homes. Homes in the area tend to cost the same as those in neighboring Earlewood but higher than those in neighborhoods like Colonial Heights. Many of the homes in the area are being remodeled, which brings investor interest. Most of the neighborhood is forested, with towering mature trees surrounding midcentury ranch homes, bungalows and duplexes. Closer to North Main, remodeled midcentury homes sit on large lots alongside sidewalk-lined streets. Single-family homes typically cost between $110,000 and $270,000.

Broad River recreation and neighborhood parks

"I'd say one of the biggest things about that area is how close it is to green spaces," says Renee Friar, a Realtor with Home Advantage Realty who specializes in relocating people into the Columbia area. Just minutes away, the Broad River has a variety of outdoor spaces, including Riverfront Park North, which spans over 167 acres with 2 miles of trails, scenic views and several fishing spots. Closer to home, the neighborhood's namesake park is right across from Eau Claire's town hall, which was named to the National Register of Historic Places. The park has a community center that hosts local events as well as green spaces for residents looking to spend the day outside. Earlewood Park, a little further south, is popular for its 18-hole disc golf course as well as an amphitheater that hosts events like the annual Black Pride Festival and Cornbread Festival.

Catching a Fireflies game at Segra Park

Hyatt Park residents are less than 3 miles from Segra Park, home to the Columbia Fireflies, the low-A affiliate of the Kansas City Royals. In addition to baseball, Segra Park hosts year-round concerts and an annual Christmas lights display. This area, part of the Bull Street District, is one of the emerging regions in Columbia, featuring an array of new restaurants and businesses. "They built the baseball stadium, and now there are luxury townhomes, an REI, and Starbucks. Since that's happened, it's pushed more growth that way," Sloan says.

Comet bus and proximity to downtown Columbia

North Main Street is one of the main routes to downtown Columbia, about 3 miles away. Though many residents drive to get around, Columbia's Comet bus has dozens of routes in Richland County, including several routes in and around the neighborhood.
