Volker

Score Breakdown

About this Neighborhood

Volker is a strong midtown Kansas City pocket, scoring an 85 Walk Score with no flood risk and a robust food scene: 48 restaurants at 4.6 stars, 13 coffee shops, three groceries, two parks, and three fitness spots. The 10,200 Yelp reviews, one of the highest counts in the batch, average a high 4.7, and the heavy hitters are the stuff of KC legend: Q39 Midtown, Bay Boy Specialty Sandwiches, and Meshuggah Bagels. Foursquare's tastes lean laid-back and eclectic: a dive bar, coffee shops, Mexican and Mediterranean restaurants, a burger joint, a Middle Eastern spot, and a bookstore. It's a walkable, deeply local neighborhood where a barbecue lunch and a bookstore afternoon fit the same day.
