Historic homes in Midtown Kansas City
North Hyde Park offers a glimpse into Kansas City history just south of downtown. The neighborhood combines with its sister subdivisions, Central and South, to form the Hyde Park area, well known for carefully maintained, turn-of-the-century architecture adorning quiet, tree-lined streets. Once a wealthy enclave surrounding the city’s first golf course, the subdivisions of Hyde Park have long been home to a diverse contingent of owners and renters looking for proximity to the city center. In the 1970s, many people took an interest in preserving these historic properties, a passion that continues to motivate buyers today. Unlike other cities sprawling out to accommodate growth, Kansas City is drawing people back into the city center. “New development has pushed people to move back into the urban core,” says Paul Michael Galbrecht, a Realtor with Keller Williams who grew up in the area. “We’ve seen a huge redevelopment of Kansas City. A lot of money has shifted and redirected into the urban core.”
There are several brightly colored homes in the North Hyde Park Neighborhood.

Renovated turn-of-the-century homes
As downtown has grown, Midtown has become an even more attractive place to invest in, as proximity to urban amenities attracts newer homebuyers. Still, Galbrecht says “Midtown is a more neighborly-like part of the city.” Most people here rent – several apartment complexes line Armour Boulevard – but the area has long drawn buyers looking for historic charm. Here, turn-of-the-century Queen Annes neighbor well-maintained four squares from the Arts and Crafts movement. Many homes have seen interior renovations as well. These homes typically range between $250,000 for two-bedroom builds, up to $500,000 for spacious five-bedroom dwellings. A tenth of an acre of land starts around $150,000 and can climb toward $500,000 for a half acre. The area’s zoning allows builders to construct single- or multi-family accommodations.

First in line at Kitty's Cafe
Kitty’s Café on 31st Street is so beloved, people bend over backwards to accommodate the restaurant’s limited hours, cash-only policy and lack of phone or online ordering. This down-to-earth establishment is celebrated for its pork and catfish tenderloin sandwiches cooked in tempura batter. The street is also home to a vegan café, coffee shops, a record store and a range of other stores and eateries, each a short walk from neighborhood homes. Locals can stock their pantries at nearby Costco or the Save A Lot on Troost Avenue.
From a golf course to a butterfly garden
People and pets stretch their legs at pocket parks in the area, including Commonwealth Green and Gillham Dog Park. The neighborhood’s namesake, Hyde Park, is about a half mile from most homes here, once the site of the city’s first golf course. Today, green space has been opened up to all, which residents use to picnic and run dogs. The park hosts a calming butterfly garden, tennis courts and a memorial to the Boy Scouts of America. Uniformed Eagle Scouts from near and far travel to have their picture taken with the fountain.
The neighborhood’s Trinity United Methodist Church is another community gathering space, not only for congregants, but for any local group looking for a meeting room. The church was built in 1916 and adds to the historic character of the neighborhood.
Hyde Park's playground has plenty of space for multiple families to enjoy it to the fullest.

KC Streetcar extension coming in 2025
Residents can access Metro Area Express buses or other routes along 31st Street, Troost Avenue, Gillham Road and Armour Boulevard. Sidewalks connect residences to cafes, bars and restaurants along 31st. In 2025, the city plans to complete construction on an extension of the KC Streetcar down Main Street, which would service Midtown residents. “That streetcar is a pivotal move for the city,” Galbrecht says. “Where I live in Midtown, I can go walk two blocks and be at a potential pickup and go take that streetcar all the way up to the River Market. And it’s absolutely free. You don’t have to pay to ride it.”
Locals meet monthly to discuss crime
