Where to stay in Armour Hills
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Armour Hills was platted for houses, not for guests. Its handful of commercial lots along Brookside Road runs to shopfronts, so a room means the wider Kansas City grid rather than anything inside the four boundary streets. Oak Street carries the through traffic east.
Gregory Boulevard closes the south, and from either edge the drive into the city's hotel corridors is short and unremarkable.

About Armour Hills
What are the main landmarks in Armour Hills?
Named houses do the work here. The Bernard Corrigan House, the Tom Pendergast House and the Walter E. Bixby House sit among the recorded properties near Armour Hills, private addresses rather than open monuments. St. Andrew's Episcopal Church stands close by, and the House at 5011 Sunset Drive carries its own street number as a name.
The National Toy and Miniature Museum holds the one sizeable public collection within easy reach of these blocks.
What is the history of Armour Hills?
The Armour family owned this ground before anyone lived on it. Kansas City grew south, the pasture was surveyed into a grid, and the plat that resulted set out 1,062 residential lots against only eight commercial ones, a ratio that still explains why the streets run quiet. The family name stayed.
Brookside Road, 65th Street, Oak Street and Gregory Boulevard fixed the edges of what the surveyors had drawn, and Armour Hills has kept those limits since.
Where is Armour Hills?
Brookside Road bounds Armour Hills on the west, 65th Street on the north, Oak Street on the east and Gregory Boulevard on the south.
