Community Features & Amenities

Award-Winning Schools

Waterford lies within the North Kansas City School District (NKC Schools #74), which serves over 21,800 students. The district is well regarded for academic rigor, diversity, and strong growth. Students nearby tend to be assigned to elementary and middle schools like Northview Elementary, New Mark Middle School, and Staley High School. These schools are known for good performance in state assessments and good facilities.

Transportation & Accessibility

Homes in Waterford enjoy proximity to major Northland arteries. With access to nearby highways, commutes into Kansas City or across the metro are reasonably smooth. Tree-lined streets and large lots help reduce road noise and congestion. While public transit is more limited in such suburban settings, most residents rely on well-maintained road networks and cars.

Shopping & Daily Essentials

Shoppers in Waterford can reach everyday essentials with ease. Grocery stores, pharmacies, and retail strips in the Northland are within short drives. Larger shopping centers in Liberty/North Kansas City provide more variety. Because the area is somewhat newer and more residential, many errands require short drives rather than walking.

Healthcare & Services

Nearby medical options include clinics, urgent care, and outpatient services in the Northland. A notable facility is Kindred Hospital Northland, a long-term acute care hospital off Highway 169 and NW 68th Street, useful for post-hospitalization needs and rehabilitation. For full hospital or specialty care, larger health systems in NKC or Liberty are accessible without extreme distances.

Parks & Recreation

Waterford offers a tranquil environment with mature trees and spacious lots, making green space a natural perk. Local parks and walking trails are nearby, giving options for outdoor recreation. While no large, centralized amenity (like a big community pool or clubhouse) is documented specifically for “Waterford” in public sources, residents benefit from the surrounding park infrastructure in the Northland.

Family-Friendly Community

This neighborhood is well suited for families seeking peace, privacy, and space. Homes are single-family, often on large lots, with quiet streets. The mix of suburban tranquility plus closeness to schools and services makes it appealing for raising children. The environment favors families who want both outdoor space and reasonably fast access to urban conveniences.
