Located in the urban core of Kansas City, Hyde Park goes north/south from Linwood Boulevard (32nd Street) to 47th Street and west/east from Gillham Road to Troost Avenue.

Hyde Park was a watering hole for pioneers heading west on the Santa Fe Trail. A stream and a cave with a natural spring made the area an ideal overnight spot for travelers. The neighborhood's history begins in the 1880s.

Today, Hyde Park is filled with mostly residents and some businesses along its Troost Avenue border. For more restaurants and bars, visit Westport and the Country club plaza which is less than 10 minutes away. If you are a jogger/biker, Gillham Park runs along the western border of Gillham Road. For more information, see William the host.

Just one block away is the Troost MAX which travels from downtown to the Crossroads district, Hospital Hill and south along Troost to Bannister. Troost MAX offers local service south of 75th Street. Other major destinations include the East Village development (currently under construction), Discovery Center, UMKC Hospital Hill and Main Campus, Rockhurst University, The Landing, Truman Medical Center, and Children’s Mercy Hospital. Park and Rides are located at 31st & Troost, 95th & Troost, and the Bannister & Hillcrest area. Trail Connections are a vital part of Troost MAX: a future trail between Troost & Bannister will connect to the Trolley Track Trail near 87th & Garfield.

MAX stations are well-lit and feature a distinctive, easily identifiable information marker, and a specially designed passenger shelter. The stations are clearly marked and named, featuring easy-to-understand route maps and real-time transit information. Riders have instant and constantly updated access to the exact arrival time through GPS technology and real-time signs at MAX stations.

The home was clean and spacious, kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with glassware, toilet tissue, etc. Stairs to top floor are very steep. The property is not within walking distance to CCP as stated in the ad, and the neighborhood is less than desirable.

Great home not great neighborhood
The house itself was very clean, very spacious, very stocked & everything easy check in! Everything with house was great! The back yard was not private, you share it with the neighbor house which wasn’t comforting. The neighbor was an VRBO as well and there was tons of fighting and cops had to be called. The host owns both houses for VRBO. The owner/host said the drive way was ours for parking but the neighbor trapped our cars in & the owner asked us to go over and ask them to move car while we were very uncomfortable doing so. Will not be staying again for young females/bachelorette due to neighbor hood

Family Stay
It was a very comfortable stay! There was enough room for all of us and everything was set up very well. I would suggest adding that the king bed is on the 3rd floor with very very steep stairs. Communication with the owner was always prompt and very clear. All the bedding was clean and very comfortable. It was a total of 13 people that stayed at the house, including 5 children, and we never felt cramped. Would definitely recommend for larger groups.its also within walking distance of the KC Forehouse which is where my BIL got married. Thank you for your hospitality!!

Fantastic location & property
Our extended family was in town for the weekend for a wedding in downtown KC. This house was conveniently located near the Country Club Plaza and downtown. The home itself was well maintained and nicely decorated with several thoughtful details, like coffee, cold water in the refrigerator, and throw blankets in all rooms. The host was extremely responsive. 5 stars all the way around!!

Great Family House
This is the second house we have rented from William through VRBO. As with the other property, it is a clean, updated old home. Plenty of comfortable beds, common space and dining area. Two families of 4 fit nicely here. Only downsides are the house being in a somewhat dicey area and the top floor bedroom has an incredibly steep staircase. Definitely not for older folks who could fall easily or for younger kids who would tumble. Owner is very responsive. House is spacious and well kept.

Cousin mini-reunion
A group of siblings/cousins got together for a weekend reunion. We wanted a place near The Plaza, and found this VRBO. 5 adults and 1 child stayed at the property, with other relatives living in the vicinity coming and going throughout the weekend. The house was a perfect meeting place! There is a fully equipped kitchen. We enjoyed sitting around the living room/dining room visiting and reminiscing. Beds were comfy. Plenty of sleeping accommodations. The bedroom in the attic was undergoing a little construction, but was still usable. There is a grocery store about 4 blocks away, and a very hip, urban coffee shop about a block and a half away. It’s a quick drive to The Plaza for shopping and evening meals. Contact with the host was all done through text message, and was extremely easy. Mention was made in previous reviews of running out of hot water for showers. We staggered our showers between mornings and nights and never had any difficulty. 3 cars can easily be parked in driveway. Street parking is also allowed, although we didn’t have to use it. Neighborhood appears to be undergoing a gentrification process, as was evidenced at the coffee shop. Overall very pleased with the home and our stay.

About the host

Hosted by William Bates

Host profile image
I am William Bates, a community and business professional with solid experience and knowledge of Kansas City communities and a passion to see these communities grow and thrive. I am a trained urban planner with a degree in Urban Studies from University of Missouri at Kansas City and a Master’s in Business Administration. I currently live in the Historic Manheim Park community where I have served in the past as a member of the Community Leadership Council (e.g., Board of Directors) and oversee all housing and infrastructure development projects on behalf of the community. I am currently active in the community working with the Urban Neighborhood Initiative, the Troost Community Investment District Development Committee and several other local organizations. I love Kansas City and I am eager to lend my time and talents to help our local communities grow and thrive.

I moved to Kansas City approximately ten years ago to attend the University of Missouri at Kansas City where I completed a bachelor’s degree in Urban Studies with a concentration in community development. Through my training, I developed a passion for working in Kansas City communities and specifically leveraging resources from various sources to help these communities to become safer, more livable places where residents are proud to call these communities home. My interest in Urban Neighborhoods stems from this passion to leverage my talents as an urban planner and my training/professional experience in business to help improve the lives of people who live in central Kansas City. Beyond working with Urban neighborhoods, I have a passion in gardening and renovating houses.
