There’s Kansas. And then there’s Leawood Kansas.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and most beholders who look upon Leawood with wide eyes agree it’s quite the pretty place. There are green lawns that jut up to a blue horizon. Trees that let fly a rainbow of leaves in the fall. Homes that come with their very own maps. Once this was good farmland, and a great stop for pioneers with visions of California gold in their heads. Now Leawood’s evolved into a golden little city where the finest aspects of living come standard. In other words, it ain’t too shabby.
Leawood – Everybody wants some.
South of metropolitan Kansas City, Leawood is a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. Essentially, it’s 15 square miles of serenity that’ll make you forget cities exist in the first place. The government didn’t even allow fast food chains here until the late 1990s. (You can definitely get your fry fix now.) Surprisingly, though, folks kind of like it that way. And living here offers some other tangible goodies, like homes and lots that are larger than their counterparts in neighboring cities. Leawood contains some of the hottest zip codes in Kansas, probably because it feels quaint and homey. It’s Mayberry, if the whole town had won the Powerball. Noteworthy subdivision include: Hallbrook, Tuscany Reserve, Manors at Mission Farms, Leawood Estates, Whitehorse, Pavilions, Highlands Ranch, Highlands Creek, Ironhorse, Hunters Ridge, Wilshire, Mission Prairie, Worthington, Oxford Hills, Highlands of Leawood, If these names all make you think of drinking wine and horseback riding, (preferably not at the same time) that’s about right.
Making a living among the finest of living.
Although Leawood is mostly residential, a thriving business community has emerged over the last few years. The city’s major companies employ about 4,000, and plans for additional mixed use neighborhoods like East Village of LeawoodLeawood are underway. Plus, with a vast system of easily accessible highways, residents can reach nearly every city in the Kansas City area in 30 minutes or less. Only teleporting would be faster.
