T he Scarritt Renaissance neighborhood holds much of Kansas City's early history within its boundaries. Encompassing some of the City's first Boulevards and abutting one of its first and largest parks, our neighborhood has much to offer its residents and visitors. Wide, tree-lined sidewalks provide the perfect means to enjoy our neighborhood's historic residential architecture. A wide variety of styles, including Queen Anne, Chateauesque, Shingle Style, Mission Style and Beaux Arts, are represented in the majestic homes along our Avenues and Boulevards.
Homeowners take a pride in ownership here.
Many of the houses in this neighborhood have been, or are in the process of being, totally restored. Many others have never needed restoration. S carritt Renaissance gets its name and its beginnings from Methodist minister, Reverend Nathan Scarritt. In 1886, Scarritt's land was annexed into Kansas City and he began selling parcels to be platted. Our neighborhood is comprised of people of all ages, from virtually all races, creeds and religions.
