The city of Excelsior Springs, Missouri is planning a new mixed-use neighborhood called Woodland Meadows on the site of a former driving range. The development will include 61 multi-family units in the first phase and 37 single-family homes in the second phase, offering housing options for both families and seniors.

Why it matters

The Woodland Meadows project aims to bring a balanced approach to housing in Excelsior Springs, providing opportunities for both families and seniors to live in a well-planned neighborhood with amenities, connectivity, and shared open space. By tying into the city's RAISE grant investments, the development will help create a more connected and accessible area for current and future residents.

The details

Woodland Meadows is planned for the northwest corner of Wornall and McCleary roads in Excelsior Springs. The senior housing portion will feature cottage-style or townhome units for residents age 55 and older, along with a clubhouse and shared open space. The single-family homes will be located on the northern end of the property.

  • The former driving range at 2200 Wornall Road is the future home of Woodland Meadows.
  • The project is expected to be developed in two phases.
