333: A conversation with the Pendleton Heights Neighborhood Association
Manage episode 413494120 series 2290361
This week, on the Northeast Newscast, we sit down with President and Security Lead Jon Cokely and Green Spaces Steward Whitney Barnardo from the Pendleton Heights Neighborhood Association.
Pendleton Heights, one of Kansas City's oldest communities, dates back to the late 1880s. Initially settled by affluent families seeking respite from city life, it's now a vibrant neighborhood with rich history and Victorian-era homes. Designated a National Register Historic District, it's recognized for its preservation efforts and was even named one of the Best Old House Neighborhoods in the U.S. by This Old House magazine in 2013.
Bound by The Paseo, Cliff Drive, Chestnut Trafficway, and Independence Boulevard, Pendleton Heights features Kansas City's first boulevard, three city parks, and a scenic byway. It's also home to a community garden, orchards, and a pocket park maintained by residents. Recent developments include new homes with property tax abatements and trendy coffee shops. The forthcoming Reservoir promises to be a unique food and entertainment venue. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy championship-level disc golf courses amid the picturesque Kessler Park. The neighborhood's active community organization fosters diversity and is fostering an arts enclave. For more information, https://phkc.org or look for them on Facebook and Instagram.
This is the second installment of our neighborhood association series.
