There’s a trend emerging throughout American cities: urban revival. Major cities are bigger, better, and safer than ever. In this new technological and economic renaissance, people are now reversing the decades-long trend of settling down in the suburbs. Across the nation, metropolitan areas are seeing an increase in population, and for good reason. An increase in technology, infrastructure, metro transportation, and the migration of millenials and baby boomers are boosting populations and drawing people out of the ‘burbs. In April, USA Today featured Kansas City on its list of the most up-and- coming cities for urban living and neighboring developments. Kansas City also ranked #7 as most-affordable city metros for home ownership.
With Kansas City’s low cost of living, accelerated job growth, and new restaurants and shops opening daily, now is the perfect time to make a move downtown! The best part? My listing at 5038 Walnut is the perfect home to transition from suburban to urban living.
5038 Walnut is an ideal home with amenities you’ll have to see to believe! With two master suites, five floors, and countless outdoor areas (including a private rooftop terrace with views of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art!) along with newly installed Google Fiber, this home has everything you could want in an urban area. And did I mention the location? Right off Main, this condo sits only four minutes away from the Country Club Plaza, four miles away from the Crossroads and Power & Light Districts, and walking distance to some of the best eateries Kansas City has to offer:
– Glace, Kansas City native and master chocolatier Christopher Elbow’s nationally ranked ice-cream parlor. Featured in O! Magazine and Travel and Leisure Magazine, Glace has some of the best ice cream in the country. And it’s only a three-minute walk from the front door of your new condo.
– Osteria Il Centro, the Zagat rated best Italian food in Kansas City, and repeated winner of Wine Spectator’s Award of Excellence for their superb service and wine selection.
– The Crestwood Shops, established in 1922, provides a lesson in Kansas City history and is home to a shop for every interest, including assorted restaurants, clothing stores, coffee shops, and home goods.
– Accurso’s Italian Restaurant, whose cheesecake has been voted the best of Kansas City. Couple their cheesecake with quality dishes, live music, nightly specials and happy hours, Accurso’s is a perfect date night destination.
– Spin! Neapolitan Pizza, the authentic Italian pizzeria with a friendly atmosphere encourages a healthy lifestyle, and offers four group bike rides a week through signature bike trails.
And those are just down the street. With thirty-six parks for every 1000 residents, fifteen colleges, twenty-eight museums, nineteen libraries, 120+ bars and 900+ restaurants alone in the downtown area, the metro has something to offer everyone!
