LIVING IN BROOKSIDE
Historic homes, mature trees, timeless architecture, and one of Kansas City's most beloved neighborhood shopping districts.
Brookside is one of Kansas City's most desirable and recognizable neighborhoods, located just south of the Country Club Plaza. Bounded by 55th Street on the north, Gregory Boulevard on the south, Ward Parkway on the west, and Troost Avenue on the east, this vibrant area encompasses several established neighborhoods, including Brookside Park, Morningside, Armour Hills, Meyer Circle, Ward Estates, and portions of the historic Country Club District.
Many of Brookside's homes were built in the 1920s and showcase timeless architectural styles such as Tudor, Craftsman Bungalow, Colonial Revival, and American Georgian. Mature trees, beautifully maintained parks, and the popular Trolley Track Trail contribute to the neighborhood's welcoming atmosphere and active outdoor lifestyle.
At the heart of Brookside is its historic shopping district, home to more than 80 locally owned boutiques, restaurants, coffee shops, and everyday services. As one of Kansas City's first suburban shopping districts, Brookside continues to blend historic charm with modern conveniences. Its walkability, unique local businesses, and strong sense of community make it one of the metro's most sought-after places to live.
Residents also enjoy easy access to cultural attractions including the John Wornall House Museum, the National Museum of Toys and Miniatures, and the nationally recognized Brookside Art Annual, each spring and featuring more than 180 artists from across the country. Families have access to a variety of educational opportunities, including Académie Lafayette, one of Missouri's top-performing charter schools offering French immersion, along with St. Elizabeth's School and nearby Pembroke Hill School.
