Parkville
County:
Platte
Situated on a bluff for spectacular views of the Missouri River, Parkville is a small town filled with cosmopolitan amenities and advantages. Just nine miles from downtown Kansas City. Parkville offers charming older homes in picturesque neighborhoods, an historic local college, and well-developed recreational facilities. Originally established as a river port in 1830, Parkville is home to one of the region’s most beautiful and unusual campuses, Park College. Claiming two buildings of native limestone that are listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings, the college features unique underground developments of classrooms, a library, and commercial operations. The cultural attractions of Kansas City are just minutes from home, although community theater is available right in Parkville. The Bell Road Barn Players continually delight local audiences with productions of Broadway hits, area premieres, and original scripts. Avid school boosters, well-organized team sports, and strong civic involvement make Parkville a close-knit community on the very edge of Greater Kansas City. The housing selection range from modest houses that are ideal for renovation to impressive new construction. Recreational highlights include golf courses, playgrounds, tennis courts, ball fields, and 100 acres of sanctuary wetlands with miles of hiking trails.
