Characteristics

Transportation

This part of Kansas City is especially car friendly. Many real estate listings are a short car ride from the nearest highway, such as I-635, and it is very convenient to find a parking spot. In contrast, the public transit service in Argentine is not very frequent. Nevertheless, house owners are served by a few bus lines, and bus stops are not very far away from most properties. Traveling as a pedestrian is not very feasible for home buyers in this part of the city because running common errands is difficult without needing a vehicle. Cycling is also challenging in Argentine as cyclists encounter a significant amount of slopes, and the bicycling infrastructure is not very extensive.

In terms of education, home owners will welcome that wherever their house is located in this area, primary schools are nearby. However, there are only a few high schools and accordingly they can be an extended pedestrian trip away.
