Located in the urban core of Kansas City, Hyde Park goes north/south from Linwood Boulevard (32nd Street) to 47th Street and west/east from Gillham Road to Troost Avenue.

Hyde Park was a watering hole for pioneers heading west on the Santa Fe Trail. A stream and a cave with a natural spring made the area an ideal overnight spot for travelers. The neighborhood's history begins in the 1880s.

Today, Hyde Park is filled with mostly residents and some businesses along its Troost Avenue border. For more restaurants and bars, visit Westport and the Country club plaza which is less than 10 minutes away. If you are a jogger/biker, Gillham Park runs along the western border of Gillham Road. For more information, see William the host.

Just one block away is the Troost MAX which travels from downtown to the Crossroads district, Hospital Hill and south along Troost to Bannister. Troost MAX offers local service south of 75th Street. Other major destinations include the East Village development (currently under construction), Discovery Center, UMKC Hospital Hill and Main Campus, Rockhurst University, The Landing, Truman Medical Center, and Children’s Mercy Hospital. Park and Rides are located at 31st & Troost, 95th & Troost, and the Bannister & Hillcrest area. Trail Connections are a vital part of Troost MAX: a future trail between Troost & Bannister will connect to the Trolley Track Trail near 87th & Garfield.

MAX stations are well-lit and feature a distinctive, easily identifiable information marker, and a specially designed passenger shelter. The stations are clearly marked and named, featuring easy-to-understand route maps and real-time transit information. Riders have instant and constantly updated access to the exact arrival time through GPS technology and real-time signs at MAX stations.

Great house!

The house is wonderful! Very clean, lots of room, and very well equipped. William responds almost immediately to messages. The area immediately around the house is fine but if you go a couple blocks, the neighborhood is a little "sub par" but we didn't have any problems at all. I believe it is an area in transition. That said, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Amazing Host

Our company sent four technicians for training in Kansas City, and we couldn't be more impressed with William and Nichole. When our team accidentally arrived at the wrong location, they guided us through the entire process with ease. They were incredibly approachable and met all our needs. We are truly grateful for their exceptional hospitality.Thank you, William and Nichole!

Home away from home.

Truly a wonderful property. Easy to get to. Other reviews commented poorly on the neighborhood but our group had no problems and didn't think it was bad at all. The house is beautiful, great kitchen and most importantly plenty of room for people to spread out or gather together and enjoy each other. A real five Star experience.

The house was lovely. It was very spacious nice and clean, comfortable beds. New utensils in kitchen was a great to have available, and plenty of parking space.

About the host

Hosted by William Bates

Host profile image
I am William Bates, a community and business professional with solid experience and knowledge of Kansas City communities and a passion to see these communities grow and thrive. I am a trained urban planner with a degree in Urban Studies from University of Missouri at Kansas City and a Master’s in Business Administration. I currently live in the Historic Manheim Park community where I have served in the past as a member of the Community Leadership Council (e.g., Board of Directors) and oversee all housing and infrastructure development projects on behalf of the community. I am currently active in the community working with the Urban Neighborhood Initiative, the Troost Community Investment District Development Committee and several other local organizations. I love Kansas City and I am eager to lend my time and talents to help our local communities grow and thrive.

I moved to Kansas City approximately ten years ago to attend the University of Missouri at Kansas City where I completed a bachelor’s degree in Urban Studies with a concentration in community development. Through my training, I developed a passion for working in Kansas City communities and specifically leveraging resources from various sources to help these communities to become safer, more livable places where residents are proud to call these communities home. My interest in Urban Neighborhoods stems from this passion to leverage my talents as an urban planner and my training/professional experience in business to help improve the lives of people who live in central Kansas City. Beyond working with Urban neighborhoods, I have a passion in gardening and renovating houses.
