Re: Westside happenings
There are plans to build 5 single family homes at 21st and Belleview.
This is the same developer that built 1120 Missouri in Columbus Park and the design on these will be similar. I really like this model of infill - similar density to townhomes, but you don't have to worry about HOAs. These could fit in the many narrow vacant lots in the city.

Re: Westside happenings
That is the right approach. Build the density of townhouses, but separate SFHs with no association fees. That is where the market would be to push townhouses in KC. No problems with banks and the 50 percent pre-sale condo situation.

Re: Westside happenings
This is exactly what is going on in the West Plaza neighborhood, sandwiched in between the plaza and stateline. I and a few other developers/builders are following this model. I have a seen a few builds that have combined lots, but for the most part the houses are vertical and feel more like townhomes with no HOA.

^ Some of the houses I’ve seen on Liberty seem to be too big in scale to the neighborhood. Are those yours?

Re: Westside happenings
When I was looking for a house in KC, that is what I really wanted. A townhouse setup that was a SFH, but no HOA. It was impossible to find one then because they really haven't existed historically in KCMO. The ones that did were demolished. Here there are attached townhouses with common areas/HOA that are more like apartment communities. I wanted a house with no front yard, porch right off the sidewalk, and a back courtyard area that was big enough to have a small raised garden bed, and garage off the alley. These types of houses are all over cities like Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, San Francisco, Baltimore, Boston, and DC. You can even find them in St. Louis. I wanted something with a front porch that could be set up not to have required yard work (lots of yard mowing).

Re: Westside happenings
Not my favorite new Westside house.
Is the entire rooftop a deck? That would be cool.

Re: Westside happenings
I agree, but would love to see the inside. I'm guessing the interior was the first thought.Midtownkid wrote: ↑Mon Apr 01, 2019 12:20 pm Yeah 2123 Madison is a miss. Really really unattractive.

Re: Westside happenings
Look at the windows on the ones with the lifts in front. That's how you design a home.
