Centered around Sugar Creek and the northeast edge of Independence, 64054 has a small-town, river-bluff feel with easy access to I-435, I-70, and US-24 for quick commutes to downtown Kansas City. Expect four true seasons—lush, humid summers and crisp winters—and a landscape of post-war bungalows, modest ranches, and tree-lined streets near LaBenite Park and the Missouri River. Everyday errands are simple with Price Chopper, Aldi, and Walmart Supercenter nearby; coffee and bites range from classic HiBoy Drive-In to A Little BBQ Joint, with Independence Square’s breweries and cafes a short drive away. Recreation leans outdoorsy: picnic spots and a boat ramp at LaBenite, nearby biking on Little Blue Trace Trail, and fitness options like Planet Fitness and Genesis Health Clubs.

According to Zillow Market Trends, recent months show a median asking rent around $1,050, with most listings typically landing between $850 and $1,300. The vibe is friendly and unpretentious—popular with pet owners and renters seeking quiet streets, green space, and commuter convenience.
