It's all in the details.

Every Kala home is designed and built to meet a higher standard. The West Plaza Bungalows are no exception, crafted to provide exceptional comfort, health, durability, and sustainability for decades longer than a traditionally built home. The difference goes far beyond aesthetics; it’s designed into every layer and detail, from properly sized, energy-efficient mechanical systems, to thoughtful framing, and meticulous air sealing and continuous insulation.

THE KALA EXPERIENCE

"In storms our kids don't wake up. It's so quiet."

Sush & Morgen, Kala Homeowners

The West Plaza Bungalows redefine luxury by focusing on what truly matters—how your home performs beyond what you can see. Built with four essential control layers—water, vapor, thermal, and air—these homes create a living environment unlike any other. Unmatched comfort, health, sustainability, and durability aren’t just features of a Kala home; they’re the foundation of it.

The Neighborhood

A vibrant, historic neighborhood

Nestled between Westport Road to Ward Parkway and State Line Road to Madison Avenue

Ten minutes walk to the Country Club Plaza

West Plaza is a vibrant, historic neighborhood set just west of the, wait for it, Country Club Plaza. A neighborhood rich in history, the Battle of Westport was fought in and around West Plaza. After the war, Kansas City really began to thrive. With a bridge built across the Missouri River the city became a major hub for transportation and the meatpacking industry. Many blue collar workers were employed at meatpacking plants in the West Bottoms and took the street car to and from their homes in West Plaza. 


Unlike other districts in the city, West Plaza wasn’t a planned development. As farmland was sold off new homes were built in a myriad of shapes and sizes. While many of the older homes in the area have been restored, the mix of homes in the neighborhood is something that has always added to the beauty and eclectic character of one of Kansas City's most iconic neighborhoods.
