Scarritt Point/Historic District and 64124
Hi All,
Happy Friday!
I was wondering what the local insight was on properties around Scarritt Point and the Historical District of KCMO, along Independence Ave. in the 64124 zip code? I did a quick search on Trulia and saw that it has the highest crime relative to the rest of Jackson County, but wanted to know what people think of the area in more detail. Is it gentrifying at all? Or is it a lost cause? Please let me know. Thanks in advance!

I work for a Community Development Financial Institution in KC and we focus a lot on the Northeast. It is a very diverse community with lots of character and lots of assets. It has historically been neglected by the city but that trend is changing. There are a lot of active neighborhood associations that are working to turn things around. I was on a real estate tour of the Northeast in November and there are a lot of great homes looking to be turned around. Generally, stay on the north side of Independence. There is more housing stock over there and it's probably going to be the part that turns around sooner.
