Corner lot. Private drive. Attached garage. You'll be sold before you even open the car door. This East Brookside gem was made for people who actually use their outdoor space. We're talking a custom pergola, patio, deck, AND a fire pit with built-in seating walls — basically your own backyard resort. The lot is big, treed, and private enough that you'll forget you're in the city. Step inside to hardwood floors in gorgeous shape from front to back, plus a kitchen that's already been updated (hello, gas stove) and ready for real life — weeknight tacos, Sunday brunch, all of it. The sunroom is the sleeper hit here: windows on every side, drenched in light, and equally at home as your WFH setup or your "do not disturb, I'm reading" spot. The little things add up too — an attic fan keeping things breezy, two closets in the primary suite, a hall linen closet, and even a cedar-lined closet for good measure. Downstairs, the basement is wide open and waiting for your vision — gym, studio, man cave, you call it. Garage comes EV-ready, and the location puts you minutes from UMKC, Brookside, Waldo, Research Medical, St. Luke's, and the Plaza. Homes like this don't sit long — go see it.
Holmes Park, located between Swope Park and the Blue River corridor, is a residential and park-adjacent Kansas City neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and a creekside greenbelt. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Holmes Rd near E 80th St, where ballfields, playground energy, and trailheads set the daily rhythm. Mid-century ranch homes and tidy brick bungalows sit on generous lots, with sidewalks that lead toward open lawns and picnic shelters. Holmes Park itself anchors routines with courts, fields, and shaded paths. Nearby Swope Park adds big-landscape scenery and cultural pull. The Blue River Trail threads the edge with long, linear views and a calm, outdoors-first feel.

Residential 5 District
Kansas City's residential (R) zoning districts are primarily intended to create, maintain, and promote a variety of housing opportunities for individual households and to maintain the desired physical character of existing and developing neighborhoods. While the districts primarily accommodate residential use types, some nonresidential uses are also allowed. The R district standards provide development flexibility, while at the same time helping to ensure that new development is compatible with the city's many neighborhoods. In addition, the regulations offer certainty for property owners, developers, and neighbors about the limits of what is allowed.
