The Neighborhood

In the mid-19th century, the West Bottoms in Kansas City was the original downtown, the economic epicenter of a thriving cattle enterprise and one of the largest livestock exchanges in the world.

But fortunes change and time moves on. And this once derelict area is now home to a burgeoning and vibrant neighborhood. Art fairs, flea markets, coffee shops and eclectic dining dot the streets alongside antique and home furnishing stores.

The West Bottoms is an adventure waiting to be had. It’s quirky, trendy, creative, unexpected and full of potential. West Bottom Flats is the perfect opportunity to experience the neighborhood and be a part of its new history.
