About West
Meade
West Meade, located between SW 29th St and SW Gage Blvd, is a residential and commercial Topeka neighborhood with mid-century streetscapes and a steady retail corridor. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the SW 29th St & SW Gage Blvd crossroads, where local storefronts, service counters, and everyday errands cluster in a compact strip. Ranch-style homes and tidy cul-de-sacs sit behind busier arterials, giving the area a calm interior rhythm. Sidewalk pockets and small greenspaces shape a practical, walkable feel in select blocks. Nearby civic and cultural stops add texture beyond shopping runs.
