Kansas Neighborhoods

Just eight miles south of downtown Kansas City, Merriam is a welcoming, peaceful, tight-knit community that is small in size at just over 11,000 residents.  Merriam's residents enjoy a wide variety of amenities and services including beautiful tree-lined streets, walking trails, plentiful parks, public art and abundant events. Merriam boasts affordable housing, an award-winning school district, and convenient location.

In addition to their fabulous new community center, many new restaurants and shops have opened (with more to come) at the highly anticipated Merriam Grand Station, located at the southwest corner of Shawnee Mission Parkway and Antioch Road.  This mixed-use space includes new apartment homes (the Grand Station Lofts) and an outdoor community space that will feature live music.  

Some of these restaurants include:
