Coleman Highlands' well-preserved 20th-century homes
The shaded streets of Coleman Highlands are lined with well-kept Craftsman homes, Foursquares and Colonial Revivals. Most of the homes in the neighborhood were built in the early 20th century, though most have seen significant interior upgrades. This blend of historical architectural features with modern conveniences is attractive to many buyers, and homes typically after just 19 days on the market. Prices fall between $300,000 and $650,000, well above the Kansas City median. Since the neighborhood is historically designated, property owners must gain approval for any changes and repairs to preserve the site’s architectural character.

Blocks from Penn Valley Park museums and recreation
Residents are mere blocks from Penn Valley Park, a Kansas City destination with a mix of recreational amenities and premier cultural sites. Locals can easily spend a weekend honing skills at the skate park or tennis courts or visiting the renowned National WWI Museum. For a more serene setting, residents have ready access to both the Meadow and Bindle Byway trails cutting through the heavily-wooded southern section of the neighborhood. The Meadow Trail is a wide-paved pathway suitable for walking, jogging or mountain biking, and the Bindle Byway is a narrower earthen trail more tailored to serious hikers and mountain bikers. Immediately adjacent to the neighborhood’s southeast corner is the beloved rope-climbing playground at Roanoke Park. For those who prefer indoor climbing, the RoKC Underground Bouldering Gym welcomes beginners and skilled veterans alike.

Unique zoning split between industry and residences
Coleman Highlands has a unique zoning landscape, as the neighborhood is broken up into a large commercial and industrial area comprising the west side, and historic residential streets on the eastern half. Many neighbors have fought to preserve the single-family ordinance ruling the residential area, which prohibits multi-family dwellings. As a result, Coleman Highlands has a very high owner-occupancy rate, unlike some other parts of Kansas City where historic dwellings have been divided up for renters.
