About Kansas City's Downtown

Forbes magazine used subjective criteria to evaluate the downtown atmosphere of cities across the US in order to come up with their list of the Top 10. This is really how you choose your favorite cities, isn't it? By their ambiance, ease of getting from one point to the next, and amenities available along the way?

All of the downtowns chosen by Forbes have numerous parks and green spaces. Naturally, Kansas City was noticed for its' fountains and parks.

Cities on Forbes' list of best downtowns:

#1: Chicago, IL

#2: Portland, OR

#3: Burlington, VT

#4: Indianapolis, IN

#5: San Antonio, TX

#6: Savannah, GA

#7: Kansas City, MO

#8: Winston-Salem, NC

#9: Greenville, SC

#10: Santa Monica, CA

Kansas City's art community also tipped the scale in our favor. The new Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts is, in itself, a work of art. In addition, Kansas City's Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, The Kansas City Art Institute, First Fridays in the Crossroads, The Country Club Plaza, and the miriad of artists who choose to live and work in Kansas City make our city a beautiful place to call home.

Parks, fountains galore, BBQ, music, art, walkability, affordable living, friendly people - what more could you want?
