Known for its rolling hills and skyhigh steeples, Strawberry Hill is kind of like a hidden treasure tucked away in downtown Kansas City, Kansas.

What stands out the most for year-long resident and business owner Shaun Crowley is the community.

“My favorite thing about Strawberry Hill is probably the fact that I know all my neighbors by name,” said Crowley, founder of non-profit bar, music label and record store manorrecordskc.

“It’s like [a] small town within this community. We all kind of like to look out for each other,” Crowley said of the neighborhood.

Strawberry Hill was founded in the early 1900s, when central and eastern European immigrants settled in the area, when a major flood forced residents to build their homes on the hill.

Today, there is a rich and vibrant Latino community in Strawberry Hill, and a slew of Latino-owned restaurants and other businesses. There are also new, innovative and community oriented businesses on the hill, working to keep people connected and give back to the neighborhood they call home. 

If you find yourself on the hill, here’s what residents told us to check out. You can also read more about the neighborhood and see more recommendations at the link in our bio. ✏️ Kynala Phillips
