Apartments for Rent in Breen Hills - Kansas City

Breen Hills started to develop in the 1880s, when nearby dams were built to create lakes for town water supplies. Line Creek, just to the east, became parkland in the mid-1960s to preserve the historic watershed of the Northlands portion of Kansas City. Archaeological digs in the park turned up evidence of human settlements, impressively dating back to 500 B.C.

Some of the oldest homes in Breen Hills date back to the 1940s before residents began moving to suburbs. Retail shops, schools, and public facilities came later after more houses were constructed.

Nearby Parkville plays host to the Parkville River Jam, a riverside summer fest of local music and indulgent fair food. Take a short jaunt to Riverside each June to catch the Kansas City Scottish Highland Games, a whirlwind of kilts, Scottish snacks, and lively bagpipe music.
