7217 Madison Ave, Kansas City, MO 64114

"I’ve lived here for six years. It’s a wonderful place for families with children or folks who are looking for a quiet place in town to settle for retirement. Most of my neighbors are straight-laced and career oriented couples, about 30% of whom have children and about 50% have dogs. There is definitely an expectation of lawn care and maintenance and the HOA helps to enforce a certain mundane, suburban-style aesthetic, though there are some creative yards and exteriors. As a twenty-something, the neighborhood has been fairly boring and the Waldo restaurants, while easily accessed, are oriented towards the 30+ crowd. As previously mentioned, this is a lovely and safe neighborhood to raise a family or settle, but might fall short for those looking for a young social or artistic community."
