Grandview's barber: Marianne Perez
Marianne Perez · Owner, The Stache
Marianne was nominated Best Female Barber in Kansas City for 2026 — and the shop she built, The Stache, was named the #1 barbershop in Grandview, MO. Fades, hot-towel shaves, kids' cuts, and walk-ins welcome on Grandview Rd. Se habla Español.
Twenty minutes from downtown.
A world away from downtown prices.
Grandview sits where Highway 71 becomes I-49, on the high ground that gave the town its name. Harry Truman farmed here before he ran the country. Today it's about 26,000 people, a Main Street finding its second wind, and quick reach to Longview Lake, Belton, and all of south Kansas City.
This guide exists to answer the questions people actually ask about Grandview — what's worth doing, where to eat, and who to call when the AC dies in July. Written locally, updated as the town changes.
Is Grandview, MO a good place to live?
Grandview offers some of the most affordable housing in the Kansas City metro with a 20-minute commute downtown via I-49. You trade some polish for value and location — and get Longview Lake, four distinct seasons, and a front-row seat to south KC's growth. The full breakdown.
