Midtown living in KC
Broadway Gillham residents are always on the move, whether heading to work, grabbing lunch with friends or visiting one of Kansas City's landmarks. This walkable, mixed-use midtown community is 2 miles from Hospital Hill, Crossroads Art District and some of KC's famed cultural attractions. Historic homes, condos and refurbished apartments fill narrow residential streets. Locals are a walk away from parks, well-loved restaurants and opportunities to engage with the community's long-standing and new neighbors. "When people move to Midtown, they live here forever. It's a lifestyle owning one of these homes," says Rachel Kilmer, a real estate agent with ReeceNichols, running the blog Rach the Realtor, which gives an inside scoop on the culture of KC. "It's different than neighborhood's like Brookside. This area is a little more artsy, quirky and diverse."

The National WWI Museum and Memorial is the only of its kind
Beyond the commercial buzz, Broadway Gillham provides spaces for community and recreation. Neighbors bring their pets to Gillham Dog Park, complete with a mini obstacle course for them to burn off some steam. A few blocks south, the Pilgrim Labyrinth & Butterfly Garden lives in Hyde Park, a linear green space with tennis courts, a walking trail and a playground. The Gillham Sprayground and Penn Valley Park on West 29th Street are popular in the summertime. "Penn Valley Park has a great skyline view," Kilmer says. "In the summer, the park is filled with everyone on the lawn in front of the National WWI Museum and Memorial having picnics and just hanging out." The Redemptorist Catholic Church is notable for its French Gothic design, constructed in the early 1900s on Broadway Boulevard.

They usually have big, beautiful old porches that were built with a lot of care." Prices range from $265,000 for condos to over $570,000 for renovated duplexes.
