The market here, last twelve months

The story of Broadlandfrom 1922
Kansas City’s plat record opens the subdivision on 24 August 1922 with a plat covering lots 1 through 310. Two more followed quickly: a plat filed simply as “Broadland” on 7 March 1923 and recorded the next day, and a third on 28 April 1923 carrying lots 677 through 983. source
Jackson County gives that unnumbered March 1923 plat 366 lots, which is exactly the span between lot 310 and lot 677 - so the three filings together account for a continuous run of 983 lots. source
An older and separate plat named Broadland Park was accepted by city ordinance 3249 on 29 October 1909. It is a different filing under a similar name and is not part of the Broadland run. source
The ground sits inside Kansas City and inside the Kansas City 33 school district. source
What the houses are likemedian built 1947
The median home sold here was built in 1947. Most of what sells was built between 1922 and 2004. 24% of sales included finished basement space beyond the above-grade footprint - which matters here, because square footage quoted above grade can understate a house considerably.

What this means if you are buying in Broadlandspecific to this neighborhood
Read the lot number on the legal description before you compare one Broadland sale with another. Everything here came out of one of three plats filed within nine months, so the platting is uniform - but the houses standing on those lots are not, and the year-built spread on this page is far wider than the platting was. Ask for the actual build year rather than reasoning from the subdivision name. Separately, do not accept research or comparables labeled Broadland Park: that is a different 1909 plat with a similar name, and search engines conflate the two.
What to check in homes of this agepost-war stock
With a median year built of 1947, most homes here are post-war stock. The band here runs 1922 to 2004, so not every house will match the median. None of the following says anything about a specific house - they are the questions worth asking of any home of this age.
- Footprints are smaller than modern equivalents and closets are noticeably so. Square footage comparisons against newer stock tend to flatter the newer house.
- Garages are often one-car, detached, or absent, and electrical panels may have been upgraded once but not twice.
- The pre-1978 lead-paint disclosure and ten-day inspection window applies (40 CFR 745.110).
A note on older deed languagevoid and unenforceable
Deeds written in this era sometimes carry restrictive covenant language relating to race, religion or national origin. Where it appears, it is void and unenforceable in both states, and has been for decades: Missouri directs that such a recital be “ignored, as if the same never existed” source, and Kansas, where such covenants were already unlawful, added a release procedure effective 1 July 2024 source. An owner in either state may record a certificate of release, which does not alter the original document but restates that the covenant cannot be enforced. It is a paperwork question rather than a live restriction - but it is worth recognizing if it surfaces in your title work. What this language is, and how to release it.
What sold, in more detailsizes, bedroom mix and timing
Of the 35 homes sold, 3 were 1-bed, 10 were 2-bed, 19 were 3-bed, 3 were 4-bed.
Above-grade size ranged from about 660 to 1,508 sq ft across the middle 80% of sales, so the median alone understates how much variation there is.
Closings cluster in December, August and September, with 57% of the year's sales closing between April and September. Because closing typically follows the contract by a month or more, listing activity runs earlier than that.
