Nestled along the Kansas-Missouri border, Rosedale is a charming neighborhood with a close-knit, diverse community where citizens continually strive to improve their neighborhood by helping each other. The Rosedale Development Association combined with neighborhood groups fuels Rosedale a strong sense of community. The Rosedale Farmers Market and Healthy Halloween (an annual celebration that provides free health screenings and flu shots) are just two of many special events that bring the community together.

Rosedale is anchored by the University of Kansas Medical Center, which is one of the area’s major employers. There are restaurants and shops scattered throughout Rosedale, but most businesses are located along Rainbow Boulevard where the hospital is located. Rosedale has several parks for residents to enjoy. The namesake park has a skate park and sports facilities while Mount Marty Park has trails and lush lawns.
