About Hickman Mills
Where to stay in Hickman Mills
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
The Longview Lake shore takes day traffic rather than overnight guests. Hotel clusters sit back toward central Kansas City, so a stay in Hickman Mills is a choice about the road: the Grandview Triangle gathers I-435, I-470 and US-71/I-49 into one approach, which suits anyone driving the Kansas City metropolitan area on a schedule. Quiet streets run out from the Longview Community College campus for longer stays.
US-71/I-49 is the shortcut back.
About Hickman Mills
What are the main landmarks in Hickman Mills?
The landmarks here carry two family names, Longview and Grandview. Longview Lake is the largest, a spread of open water held inside the neighborhood and the reason most outside visitors turn off the highway at all. Longview Community College stands nearby, its campus the district's best-known address.
The Grandview Triangle is the third: not a building but an interchange, the point where I-435, I-470 and US-71/I-49 fold into one another.
What is the history of Hickman Mills?
The Hickman Mills C-1 School District still carries the name. Longview Lake and Longview Community College share the second name in circulation, and between them they hold most of what the map records. The Grandview Triangle came later.
I-435, I-470 and US-71/I-49 were driven through the area and braided together there, and that junction is the piece of Hickman Mills the rest of Kansas City can name.
Where is Hickman Mills?
Longview Lake supplies the open water. Hickman Mills sits inside the Kansas City metropolitan area, with I-435, I-470 and US-71/I-49 threading the ground around it.
