The calm disposure of Oak Park
When the day begins, garage doors roll open and streetlights from the night before flicker off, with residents heading out to their jobs or errands while being secure in knowing that they have a quiet home to return to. A bird's eye view of Oak Park reveals thick crops of trees and neatly plotted yards, perfectly circled cul-de-sacs and dots of people at the community parks. With highly-rated schools and the calm nature of suburbia, it's become a popular settling point for those who want a quieter lifestyle. Found only 13 miles south of downtown Kansas City, Oak Park balances quick accessibility to the city and necessities without sacrificing residential privacy and green space.
Striking classical homes in the neighborhood
Oak Park succeeds in the laidback suburban atmosphere, the wide sidewalks providing neat paths past the manicured front yard and carefully tended plots of flowers. Mornings and evenings see residents out and about for walks with their dogs, and they collectively share and care for the Overland Park Community Garden year-round. Walkability to gathering points has been made essential, so no resident is ever far from being able to pop by the nearest park or library. The architectural styles span a wide range, with elegant Colonial Revivals and the iconic half-timbering of Tudor homes being common standouts amongst the quiet subdivisions. Houses in Oak Park favor whimsical expression, with characteristics such as high domed windows and Queen Anne-inspired turrets. Many properties were built in the late 20th century, and more contemporary houses appear every year. Three-bedroom homes with more simplistic builds, such as ranch houses, typically start at $300,000, while modern housing with four or more bedrooms climbs past $400,000.
