Longfellow, a small neighborhood with an active neighborhood association, sits a little more than a mile south of downtown Kansas City. Longfellow features many historic homes, including Victorian-style houses for rent, as well as apartments in historic buildings and modern complexes.

Load up on caffeine with a coffee from the Filling Station. Dine like the locals at You Say Tomato, a homey cafe featuring local and seasonal comfort foods. Succotash wins the hearts of Longfellow residents with a hip vibe and locally-sourced food. If you want even more local food, help out at the Longfellow Farm, a community garden tended and harvested by neighborhood residents.

Longfellow's location close to downtown keeps residents within walking distance of the popular Crown Center shopping area, the National World War I Museum and Memorial, and Union Station, all of which lie just outside the neighborhood.
