A neighborhood where community cuts across cultures

In Linden Park, located just off of Interstate 29 at the edge of Kansas City and Platte Woods, people involve themselves in one another’s lives. “People watch out for each other,” says Jess Horsley, an associate pastor at Platte Woods United Methodist Church. “It’s neighborly without being too nosy.” And with a colorful palette of people from many cultures and backgrounds, neighbors often have much to learn from each other. “On my block alone, we have a number of different ethnicities," Horsley said. "We have block parties several times a year. It’s laid back and hospitable."

Linden Park is a neighborhood that many from around the world choose to call home.

Linden Park students attend Thomas B. Chinn Elementary School, which earns a B-plus rating on Niche. A-minus-rated Plaza Middle School is located in the neighborhood. A-rated Park Hill High School ranks 27th out of 511 high schools across the state. Each is in the Park Hill School District, which ranks as the18th best school district out of 451 in Missouri and 20th best in the state for student-athletes. “There are people who move from all over to live in that district, especially for its special needs program,” says Bill Breed, Realtor for Exit Realty Professionals. Horsley’s children attend school in the district, and he couldn’t be more pleased. “The Park Hill School District is exceptional," Horsley says. "There are over 80 native languages spoken at my son’s school."

A 'spectacular' nature center is nearby

Several parks surround Linden Park. Woodsmoke Park, toward the community’s southern edge, is the closest. With a playground and picnic tables, it is well-suited for kids. An even bigger local draw, however, is Parkville Nature Center, a short drive south of here. “The Parkville Nature Sanctuary is spectacular,” Horsley says. “It’s less than five minutes away. There’s a great research center. There are great trails.”

A bedroom community with popular events in close reach

Primarily a bedroom community, Linden Park is less of a destination for activities than a launch pad. People live in the sanctuary of this quiet space and live their active lives elsewhere. “We go downtown,” Horsley says. “Because of the easy access to the interstate, a lot of people go across to Kansas City, Missouri or Kansas City, Kansas to do things. The highways make it easy to get around." Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City's most popular destination, is 20 miles southeast of the neighborhood -- typically a 30-minute drive.

The Festa Italiana Event at Zona Rosa is fun for the whole family.
