A Neighborhood with Heart & History
Waldo is one of Kansas City’s most beloved neighborhoods. Originally settled in 1841 by Dr. David Waldo, it began as a small farm on the outskirts of town. Over the years, it’s evolved into a vibrant community that still maintains its small-town charm—despite being just minutes from major city attractions.
Today, Waldo is home to over 600 businesses, with nearly 60% locally owned. You'll find everything from cozy coffee shops and independent boutiques to vintage stores, fitness studios, and neighborhood bars. Surrounded by tree-lined streets and a strong sense of community, it’s a great place to work, shop, dine, and unwind.
Whether you’re strolling the neighborhood, catching live music, or discovering a new favorite restaurant, Waldo offers an authentic Kansas City experience just outside your door.
Guests will have access to the entire home except the basement.
