Why our neighborhoods
Central without feeling generic.
Visit KC describes the Country Club Plaza as a 15-block district known for Spanish-inspired architecture, fountains, shopping and dining, with the Nelson-Atkins and Kemper Museum nearby. Our Kansas City homes sit just outside that visitor core in Waldo and West Plaza, so you can reach major attractions quickly while returning to a residential neighborhood at night.
West Plaza
Quieter streets, the Plaza close by.
A design-forward base near shopping, museums, parks, Westport and some of Kansas City’s most visited districts.
Explore West Plaza →Choose your KC home
Different trips need different houses.
Walden and Linden are intentionally different. The better choice depends less on which one you like in photos and more on who is traveling with you.

Warm Craftsman comfort with four queen beds, two bathrooms, a full kitchen and enough shared space to keep a group together.

Why a home instead of a hotel
KC trips get easier when everyone has a little more room.
Cook when you want
Both homes have full kitchens and coffee setups for mornings that do not require getting everyone out the door.
Stay together
Shared living rooms and dining spaces let the trip continue after you leave the restaurant, museum or event.
Do laundry
In-home washers and dryers matter on longer stays, family trips and tournament weekends.
Experience a neighborhood
Walk out into actual residential Kansas City instead of another hotel lobby and parking garage.
