One
of the most sought after areas for luxury homes in Kansas
City is the Mission Hills area.
These homes are highly desired because of the
distinctive architecture and unique craftsmanship that
existed in the 1920s and 1930s, when many of them were
built.
Many
Mission Hills homes are made of stone or brick. The homes
often feature tile or slate roofs, beautiful interior
woodwork and Terrazzo marble floors.
Mission
Hills luxury home owners are lured by the architecture, the
mature trees, the proximity to the Plaza and the sense of
neighborhood that comes with living in town. They're willing
to trade off three-car garages and hearth room kitchens for
the amenities of the older neighborhoods.
Newer
built luxury homes in Southern Johnson County are appealing
to aging baby boomers and empty nesters who desire smaller,
yet exclusive, low-maintenance homes. These homes generally
are 3500-4000 square foot, limited-edition luxury homes.
They often attract people who would rather play golf and
travel than mow lawns.
Most of the luxury communities in this area are gated
communities located on premier golf courses. Despite the
smaller size, these homes still boast spacious master
bedrooms, large closets, gourmet kitchens, and a big hearth
room that Kansas City area luxury homes are known for.
Many
of the amenities you will find in the Kansas City luxury
market include: serene bathrooms with souped-up saunas,
towel warmers and heated floors (to bring the spa back
home); "green" elements such as eco-friendly woods
and nontoxic building materials; and technology that

other systems. Tennis
courts, basketball courts, indoor pools, and wine cellars
