Kansas City Neighborhood Check

[Christian Dowell]

Hi! 

Looking at purchasing an Apartment complex on E. 30th KCKS. The numbers seem to work out well, but I'm looking for someone who is more familiar with the area to help me determine if this is a class A, B C or D!

Thanks!

@Christian Dowell it depends on the cross street.  E 30th and Holmes is actually a good area because it is right next to Union Hill and only a couple of blocks from Hospital Hill.  Mostly Class B & C (partly due to age of the properties).   The few remaining D properties are quickly being scooped up and converted into Cs and Bs.

Now, if you are looking at E 30th and say Olive St, then you would be looking at Class F or maybe even class Z!  

A good, GENERAL rule of thumb for investors:  West of Troost Ave. is good.  East of Troost Ave. is not so good.
