Families stay true to neighborhood legacy of hard work and community
Located south of the Kansas River and area railroad tracks, Argentine is a quiet, established neighborhood where families carry on from one generation to the next. Argentine means silver, which ties back to an early era when the area was home to a silver smelting plant. Its deep Mexican-American roots began to grow in 1915 when Mexican men worked on the railroads. Those early roots have created a strong, unique sense of community.
“Argentine is like a small town in the middle of the city,” Robert Brown says.
A Realtor with Platinum Realty, Brown has been selling homes in the area for 7 years.
“It’s an older community with older homes where most people stay to themselves,” he says.
Around half of Argentine is residential, 19% is industrial, and 14% is apartments. Nearly 60% of Argentine’s 2,883 households are owner-occupied.
