Location: Right in the Heart of Waldo
Waldo is one of Kansas City’s most walkable and vibrant neighborhoods, filled with charm, history, and local character. The Craftsman is just one block away from the bustling Walkabout area, placing you steps from everyday conveniences and some of KC’s favorite spots.

Walk to These Local Favorites:

CVS

Walgreens (with an electric car charging station)

Chipotle

Summit Bar & Grill

Pickleman’s Deli

Crow’s Coffee

The Well Bar, Grill & Rooftop

Lew’s Grill & Bar

The Neighborhood Café – a go-to for a hearty breakfast

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!

Love Waldo

We were excited to find a place in Waldo-one of our favorite neighborhoods in KC. The home had everything we needed and several easy ways to contact the host if there were additional needs. Quiet neighborhood close to a variety of restaurants and within easy driving distance to all of the KC attractions.

Waldo Craftsman

Great base for exploring south KC. Right next to Harry Wiggins Trolley Track Trail - great for biking! And only 2 blocks from KC Bier Co, which turned out to be an excellent local brewery. Less than a 15 minute drive to numerous attractions (Starlight Theater, Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, National Museum of Toys and Miniatures) and fine restaurants. Not an upscale neighborhood, but comfortable and safe. The property was comfortable and well equipped - ideal for a couple, would be suitable for up to 4 adults. A BIG plus is that pets are allowed and provided with a welcome package!! We would stay here again.

Clean, quite and pet friendly

The hose is as describe, very clean and loved the fenced in backyard for my pups. Lots of great places like Target and dining places very close by. The neighborhood is in a process of revitalization so be aware of that. I would stay again. The id verification is kind of a put off and there was another $35 I had to pay. I understand the need but I'm not a fan of a third party having that much info for 7 years. Read the fine print.
