Kansas City, MO – Greenwood Senior Apartments is where the past and future meet. Built on the site of the old Greenwood Elementary School—where kids learned and played from 1906 to 1997—this new community gives 6.2 acres a fresh chapter. The school may be gone, but the historic retaining wall still stands tall, keeping the memories alive while welcoming Kansas City seniors to a sustainable, promising future.
Blending Tradition with Modern Design
The three-story, L-shaped building at 2700 Cleveland Avenue reflects the architectural spirit of the elementary school it replaced. Its façade, facing East 27th Street, features red brick, bump-out paneling, and stone cap parapets, recalling the historic character of the site. Rear access and parking connect seamlessly with Cleveland Avenue.
Thoughtful Spaces for Community Living
The first-floor main entry greets residents with a welcoming leasing office, seating areas, a mail kiosk, and a spacious community room. Outfitted with a full kitchenette, the community room also extends to a three-season space where residents can enjoy fresh air year-round.
A striking two-story staircase leads to additional gathering spaces:
- Second Floor: A computer room and sitting area for quiet connection.
- Third Floor: A cards-and-crafts room, hosting activities that bring residents together throughout the year.
