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.

Amazing Host
Our company sent four technicians for training in Kansas City, and we couldn't be more impressed with William and Nichole. When our team accidentally arrived at the wrong location, they guided us through the entire process with ease. They were incredibly approachable and met all our needs. We are truly grateful for their exceptional hospitality.Thank you, William and Nichole!

Home away from home.
Truly a wonderful property. Easy to get to. Other reviews commented poorly on the neighborhood but our group had no problems and didn't think it was bad at all. The house is beautiful, great kitchen and most importantly plenty of room for people to spread out or gather together and enjoy each other. A real five Star experience.

Some good... Some not so good
The property had nice decor and remodeling. However, it could have been cleaner. I found the floors and stairs to need a bit more attention, but the towels and bedding were clean and smelled fresh. It had plenty of room, bedrooms and bathrooms for my whole family. This was great! The major downfall of the property is the location. It is not in the best neighborhood, even though it is close to the plaza and fairly close to downtown KC. This is probably reflected by the price, which I was happy with. So, overall, is was a pretty good stay. A couple of annoying things: the upstairs has motion activated lights in the hallway. They are very bright and shined into the bedrooms due to the windows above the doors. The street is not very quiet either. We heard maybe outdoor noises.

Wonderful Experience
The house was lovely. It was very spacious nice and clean, comfortable beds. New utensils in kitchen was a great to have available, and plenty of parking space. Loved that there was a washer and dryer so we were able to wash our towels each night to keep the laundry from piling up great supply of everything.

Great place & stay - but YOU DESERVE TO KNOW THE VRBO'S REAL LOCATION
Before I say what I want to say, the house is great - perfect for a large group, clean, tidy, etc. For these reasons, the home was great for our weekend, subject to my comments below. The listing says this is "close to art museum" and "plaza." While this is somewhat true (within a half mile of both), there is some deception going on here. The house actually sits on Troost Avenue (known as one of the more dangerous roads/areas in KC) - something I believe every renter should be aware of - and frankly, I think withholding that fact from people traveling into KC with their family, likely not having an idea of the neighborhoods/roads, and all while paying good money should not be allowed under any circumstance by VRBO. With all of that being said, we had a car broken into and stolen on our first night. A police report was filed the next morning and the car was located down Troost Ave. two mornings later - totaled. Now clearly that isn't the homeowner's fault - however, it's their fault for leading us to believe we were booking a home - non-refundable may I point out - "close to art museum/plaza" and/or in "south hyde park." Therefore, beware of location. It's a great, spacious home INSIDE, which is all on par with how it is advertised. The outside, however, including primarily the location of the home, is not as advertised. I was stunned to find no similar reviews warning others of this very issue.

Overall we had a good time. House had a lot of space but only had places for 14 to sleep and neighborhood was not the safest. A lot of people wondering around out side at night. One thing to note is the sharing of a backyard with the house next door.

Close to Power and Light
We stayed here for the weekend of my daughter’s wedding. Proximity to the venue was great. As many reviews have stated the location isn’t the greatest. But we never felt nervous in the house. There was a loud car that went by around 2:00 am both nights. A noise machine might be helpful. Beds were very comfortable, good towels and linens. We didn’t cook so I can’t say anything about cooking supplies. But they had ample coffee mugs. We loved having 5 bedrooms with 5 bathrooms. And the rooms were all good sized. The fan and the light are wired together in the front room. So you can’t use the fan without the light. Owner said an electrician would be fixing that. Owner was very quick to respond to our questions. We weren’t in the house much but it was a comfortable place to sleep at night.

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.
