Downtown Blue Springs Boom: New Homes & Apartments

Developers Revitalize Downtown Blue Springs: New Homes, Apartments, and Urban Revival

RC McAtee Construction is leading a residential boom in downtown Blue Springs, with nearly 400 building permits issued since 2024. The company has completed a house on Fifteenth Street, started construction at 800 Southwest South Avenue, and received approval for 12 more lots. Smaller lots keep homes affordable, with prices in the mid-three hundred thousand dollar range.

Chad McAtee, the company president, believes that increasing the residential population will boost downtowns commercial appeal. Teresa Hogan Keene from the Downtown Blue Springs nonprofit agrees, noting that more residents will likely attend Main Street events.

The city council has also approved apartments at the old lumberyard site, further enhancing the residential push. Bond money will fund downtown upgrades this spring, potentially transforming Blue Springs into a live-work-play destination that attracts people from across the region.
