The city hosts more than 500 fun and family-friendly celebrations every year, from the Underwater Easter Egg Hunt to the Freedom Run.

Near Kansas City
Lenexa is a thriving community in its own right, and it’s also near Kansas City. A population of just over 58,000 puts Lenexa in that Goldilocks population range of being not too big and not too small. When you consider the great outdoor recreation opportunities that the town has to offer, like fishing, boating, swimming, and cycling, and combine that with a 19 minute commute to the more urban activities of Kansas City, you find a nice medium between small town and big city that’s just right.
