64157 (Kansas City, MO) Real Estate & Homes For Sale

The 64157 zip code is a solidly affluent suburban enclave with a median household income of $137,681 as of the 2023 American Community Survey. Over 91% of the 7,567 households here are owner-occupied, and the Census estimates the median home value at $360,800. This is a mature community—the median age is 38.1—with more than half its residents holding a bachelor's degree or higher. The population sits at 22,429, making it substantial enough to support good schools and services without urban density.

Home buyers here should expect serious competition. In the last 30 days, 31 homes sold with a median price of $475,000, moving in just 14 days on average and closing at 97% of list price. Year-to-date, 259 homes have closed at a median of $455,000, showing a tight market where properties are rarely priced wrong. Renters exist but are the exception—the median gross rent is $1,970—so this is decisively a buyer's market.

The commute averages 24.2 minutes, which positions 64157 as accessible but not right on top of downtown Kansas City. For families prioritizing schools and equity appreciation over walkability or nightlife, this zip code delivers both stability and liquidity. The owner-heavy composition means neighborhoods tend toward long-term residents rather than frequent turnover.
