Kansas City's historic neighborhood at the south edge of the Country Club Plaza.
The Rockwell Homes Association community lies at the southern edge of Kansas City's Country Club Plaza, rising upward into the hills beyond.
Our historic neighborhood is home to numerous architecturally significant homes and was one of the first premier planned communities in the region. Our Association abuts countless amenities including Loose Park, Pembroke Hill, and the Plaza's most popular hotels and restaurants.
This is the official site serving the Rockwell Homes Association community. Welcome!

The Country Club Plaza changed hands in 2024, moving the iconic district away from longtime owners Taubman and Macerich. The new ownership group has signaled an ambitious refresh — more housing, better walkability, and a renewed focus on the Plaza's role as the cultural heart of Kansas City. Residents can expect to see meaningful changes unfold over the next several years.

The Kansas City Symphony has announced plans to build a 4,600-seat performance venue at the southeast corner of 49th & Main, just south of the Plaza. Designed by Kansas City–based Populous, the venue is intended to host more than 100 events per year — touring artists, special performances, and community programming — with construction expected to start late 2026 and doors opening in 2028. The Symphony's regular season will remain at Helzberg Hall in the Kauffman Center.
