North Kansas City Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Missouri

Over the past 150 years, Kansas City North of the River - known as “The Northland” to local residents - has evolved from a Missouri River steamboat landing and a few hundred acres of platted land into a gleaming metropolitan center. The city's population has grown from a few hundred traders, trappers, entrepreneurs and Native Americans to almost 500,000 citizens in the communities of Kansas City, Riverside, Parkville, Weston, Platte City and Liberty. Residents enjoy a high quality of life, low unemployment rates, a low cost of living, affordable housing, top-quality education, historic landmarks, culture, arts, and a strong economy. The Northland offers a friendly, down-home atmosphere as well as sophistication and charm. Located in the heart of America, the area is an air, trucking and rail hub with strong international ties. It is also known for its foreign trade zone, its underground storage industry and its automobile assembly plants. Nationally known companies such as Ford Motor Company, Hallmark Cards, Inc., Sprint Corporation, AT&T, General Motors, Southwestern Bell and UPS are some of the area’s largest employers. The 4,700-acre Kansas City International Airport and a major network of modern highways - including interstates 35, 435 and 69 - connect it to the rest of the country and the world. More than 10 million tourists visit the distinctive and historic Country Club Plaza each year. Real estate is affordable.
