Property Description
16 W. 37th Street is a three-story, twelve-unit brick apartment building in the historic Hanover Place neighborhood of Midtown Kansas City, just steps off Main Street. Built in 1925, it pairs the craftsmanship of Kansas City's pre-war architecture with an infill location that is hard to replicate. Residents can walk to the 39th Street District and Westport, and two KC Streetcar stops, Armour at 35th and Main and Westport at 39th and Main, are only a few minutes away on foot. Ownership has invested steadily in the building's security, systems and curb appeal. Improvements include new front windows, a new Bluetooth-enabled entrance, security cameras and updated flooring in the common hallways. Every unit has Bluetooth entry, and the building is wired for Google Fiber. Units are individually metered for gas and electric (tenant charge) and have a shared common hot-water system, which includes a newly installed water heater. All twelve units are studios approximating about 425 square feet, with a current average rent of $691. Ownership has renovated the units one at a time as they’ve turned resulting in varying levels of finish. Ten of the twelve have new kitchens, bathrooms and countertops, and nine have new windows. Seven offer in-unit washers and dryers along with updated appliances and electrical. Every unit has original hardwood floors, and five have been refinished. On the top floor, all four units received central air and heat in 2020 and 2021, and the ground-floor units have new ductless mini-split systems installed between 2020 and 2022. One classic-condition unit, occupied by a long-term tenant, has not been updated since acquisition, giving a new owner a clear renovation opportunity when that lease turns over. The property is owner-operated, fully occupied and has a long record of strong occupancy. With a Walk Score® of 91, a "Walker's Paradise" rating, it ranks among the most walkable addresses in Kansas City. Westport's restaurants and nightlife are blocks away. The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art and the Kansas City Art Institute are just beyond, and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and the shopping and dining of the Country Club Plaza are an easy walk or streetcar ride. The fare-free KC Streetcar Main Street Extension opened in October 2025, and its ridership more than doubled within the first month. It connects residents directly to the Plaza, UMKC, Crown Center, Union Station, Downtown and the Riverfront. That connectivity draws from several deep renter pools. Healthcare professionals and students commute to the University of Kansas Medical Center and Saint Luke's Hospital. Students and creatives are drawn by the Kansas City Art Institute and UMKC. For an investor, 16 W. 37th Street offers stable in-place income, a largely completed renovation program and remaining upside, all in one of Kansas City's most walkable and transit-connected neighborhoods.
