Red Bridge, Kansas City

Red Bridge, Kansas City

Red Bridge is a neighborhood in South Kansas City. It is centered around the intersection of Red Bridge Road and Holmes Road, on the south side of I-435. Avila University, Minor Park, and the Mount Moriah Cemetery are all located within the Red Bridge neighborhood.

History

Housing construction in the area began in the early 1950s, while it was still a part of unincorporated Jackson County. During the 1960s, the J.C. Nichols Company continued the development into what became known as the Red Bridge neighborhood. Strong emphasis was placed on community planning, and the architectural style of the homes, statuary and entrance markers, and the proximity to the Red Bridge Shops were part of an overall package intended to provide a coherent residential environment and high quality of life for residents. This early emphasis on quality has helped the neighborhood maintain its appeal over a long period of time.
