Pendleton Heights, Kansas City

Pendleton Heights, Kansas City

Pendleton Heights is a historic neighborhood in Kansas City, Missouri, United States. It is located near the downtown loop, between Paseo and Chestnut Trafficway to the west and east, and Independence Boulevard and Cliff Drive to the south and north.

Pendleton Heights is one of the oldest specifically residentially-designed neighborhoods in Kansas City, preceded only by Quality Hill. It was Kansas City's first developed suburb, platted in the late nineteenth century from what had formerly been the 200-acre Jones Farm. Accordingly, the neighborhood is recognized by the City of Kansas City as a historic district.

The neighborhood boasts Kansas City's first boulevard plus two others, two city parks, the original city reservoir, one of only two nationally-listed urban scenic byways and the largest collection of true Victorian homes in the City. Architectural styles include "Traditional Victorian", American Craftsman, Italianate, Eastlake, Shingle-Style, Richardsonian Romanesque, "Folk Victorian", "Kansas City Shirtwaist", Beaux Arts, and grand Queen Anne. The neighborhood also includes a castle on the bluffs ("Tiffany Castle") overlooking the East Bottoms and the Missouri River below. One home, the Philip E. Chappell house at 1836 Pendleton Avenue, has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places since 1990.
