About the Neighborhood:
Waldo’s roots go back to 1841, when Dr. David Waldo first settled the area. What began as farmland quickly evolved into a close-knit town on the edge of Kansas City. Over time, it’s grown into a lively urban neighborhood while keeping its small-town charm.
Today, Waldo is home to over 600 businesses—60% of them locally owned—surrounded by family-friendly streets and a strong sense of community. It’s a place where neighbors know each other, and visitors are always welcome. Whether you're grabbing coffee, enjoying a night out, or walking the historic Trolley Trail (which runs all the way to the Plaza), there's always something to do in Waldo.
Guest will have access to the full home during the stay!
