Knoches Park is a community on Kansas City’s Eastside where locals look out for one another and provide vital resources such as food banks, daycares, and tutoring centers. "Knoches Park is centrally located"—just 6 miles from Downtown Kansas City—and "it’s easy to get on to the highway," says Sherri Oaks, a real estate agent with ReeceNichols Real Estate. With many homes built in the mid-1900s, residents are updating and renovating their properties. Offering access to community parks with splash pads, recreation centers and proximity to some of KC's most visited cultural districts, Knoches Park is a convenient place to be.

Handmade sculptures at Cypress Park

Located adjacent to Seven Oaks Estates, the expansive 11-acre Seven Oaks Park has long been a cherished outdoor retreat for locals, offering amenities such as basketball courts, tennis courts, and baseball fields. During the summer, the park buzzes with activity as children play on the playground and cool off at the spray park. Cypress Park is situated north of the neighborhood, boasting unique cone-shaped stone art installations. Crafted by sculptor Dale Eldred, these structures are an interactive focal point. The nearby 18-acre Linwood Green also provides a trail enveloping a rain garden. For indoor recreational activities, the Linwood YMCA on Linwood Boulevard offers an array of group workout classes, personal training sessions, youth sports programs, and computer access at the Teen Tech Center, available to students regardless of YMCA membership status. Yvonne Starks Wilson Park, located just a mile away, serves as a communal gathering space for the Dunbar community, hosting various events and activities.

Craftsman homes with big yards

Knoches Park has a variety of home styles with porches that look out onto the modest, yet hilly front lawns. Characterized by a grid layout, the neighborhood comprises houses on spacious, rectangular lots adorned with mature trees. Dating primarily from the 1920s to the 1960s are Craftsman, Minimal Traditional, Cape Cod and Ranch style houses. Whether paved or gravel, driveways lead to expansive backyards ideal for outdoor recreation. While properties here often require updates and renovations, they offer housing options ranging from $75,000 for fixer-uppers to $150,000 for renovated homes of comparable size. Knoches Park has a CAP Index of 8 out of 10, higher than the national average. However, The Kansas City Police Department has an East Patrol Office to combat this.

Convenient grocery options at Happy Food Center

Residents seeking everyday essentials can find them at Happy Food Center on East 31st Street, a longstanding fixture in the community for over three decades. For those craving homestyle meals without the hassle of cooking, Street Tacos 2 Go, a recent addition to Knoches Park, specializes in burritos, flautas and tortas. Beyond the neighborhood, Double Backz Breakfast and Burgers on Indiana Avenue offers an array of cheesy selections. KC's Crown Center, situated 4 miles north, provides access to diverse restaurants and unique boutiques, while Harvesters - The Community Food Network on Topping Avenue assists neighbors in need.
