Northmoor, MO

Northmoor is a tiny, quiet community in Platte County, tucked right between Riverside and Kansas City's Northland. Home to around 300 residents, it has the feel of an intimate neighborhood where people recognize their neighbors. You get a peaceful atmosphere while staying just a quick drive from downtown Kansas City, Briarcliff shops, and major highway routes.

Families moving to the area are served by the well-regarded Park Hill School District, with older students attending Park Hill South High School. Because of the town's small footprint, residents head right next door into Riverside and North Kansas City for grocery runs, dining, and riverfront parks. Northmoor makes a great fit if you want a quiet, low-key home base with an effortless commute across the metro.
