Welcome to one of Kansas City’s most coveted locations — where charm, culture, and convenience meet to create the ultimate getaway experience. Nestled in a vibrant, walkable neighborhood, The Roanoke Duplex places you steps from some of the city’s most iconic destinations, all while offering a peaceful retreat to relax and recharge.
Indulge in world-class dining just moments from your door. Savor the flavors of the legendary Q39 BBQ, a Kansas City institution, or explore the culinary delights of Jazz, A Louisiana Kitchen, Blue Koi Noodles, and KC Smoke Burger, all within easy walking distance. Looking for a perfect start to your day or a leisurely afternoon? Unwind on one of the many inviting outdoor patios nearby, where you can enjoy a craft coffee or a signature cocktail in the fresh Kansas City air.
Nature lovers will appreciate being just one block from Roanoke Park, a lush urban escape featuring scenic trails, playgrounds, and beautiful open spaces — perfect for morning jogs, afternoon picnics, or simply reconnecting with nature.
A short 15-minute stroll or 5-minute Uber ride will take you into the heart of Westport, Kansas City’s historic entertainment district. Here, you’ll discover endless opportunities for fun and relaxation — from billiards at Harry’s Bar and Tables, to foosball battles at Buzzard Beach, to savoring fine cigars at the legendary Fidel’s Cigar Shop. The neighborhood also boasts upscale grocery stores, stylish boutiques, gyms, yoga studios, and an array of award-winning restaurants and bars — all within minutes of your stay.
While you're close to all the excitement, the neighborhood itself remains serene, family-friendly, and welcoming — a perfect blend of energy and tranquility. Out of respect for our wonderful community, parties and large gatherings are not permitted. A $700 fine will be applied for any violation of this policy. We deeply appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain the elegance and peacefulness that make this area so special.
