The Residences of Kirkwood is a culmination of over 50 years of effort and investment. The 10 acre campus was originally developed with 51 single family homes dating to the early 1900's.
In addition two small apartment buildings were built in the 1950's. The son of the founder of the Country Club Plaza and District, Miller Nichols, spent 30 years buying up the properties, one by one. Then another 20 years to be acquired and developed by a strong local partnership. It would be nearly impossible to re-create such a high end community, so close to the Country Club Plaza.
