Mount Hope blends natural charm with urban access
In the early 1900s, Kansas Citians flocked to the Mount Hope area for Spring Valley Park's beautiful limestone quarry and flowing springs. While the water has since dried up, the park is still a popular destination. Today, you’ll find 26 acres of rolling green space filled with a ropes course playground and a small spray park. With a few other recreational hubs and U.S. Highway 71 at its core, Mount Hope is a close-knit and centrally located community.
Mount Hope features charming homes with curb appeal and community pride.

American Foursquares and bungalows from the 1920s

There are also a few smaller bungalows from the same decade. A home in Mount Hope can cost anywhere between $150,000 and $300,000, a range similar to a Kansas City home's average $250,000 selling price. “Because the homes are lower cost, it’s a popular area for renovations,” says ReeceNichols Realtor Kevin Sieker. “People like to keep the natural charm on the outside of houses, but they update the interiors.”

All the produce is distributed directly to residents or donated to the church food pantry.The Lucile H. Bluford Branch of the Kansas City Public Library is also in the area. Named after a Kansas City journalist and advocate against segregation, this library has an extensive selection of African American literature.
