Santa Fe, located between the Independence Square and the Little Blue River, is a historic and residential Independence neighborhood with a courthouse-centered downtown and tree-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Independence Square at W Truman Rd and N Main St, where brick storefronts frame coffee counters, local diners, and small galleries. The Truman Courthouse anchors the skyline and sets a civic, walkable rhythm. The National Frontier Trails Museum adds a trailhead-to-town-story layer to the streetscape. Nearby, the Bingham-Waggoner Estate brings preserved grounds and period architecture into view. Housing reads as early- to mid-century, with porches and mature canopy shaping the block-by-block feel.
