Homes for sale in Lenexa KS | Real Estate

If you’re the type to dislike fun and frequent community-based events, then maybe Lenexa just isn’t for you. Lenexa is known as the City of Festivals, and as such hosts a wide range of fun and family-friendly celebrations every year. It takes a special kind of city that can appeal to both the barbecue and health nut crowds, but Lenexa finds a way by holding both the Great Lenexa Barbecue Battle and the Spinach Festival, an event which recalls the days when Lenexa was The Spinach Capital of the World.

Lenexa has beautiful parks, a great trail system, and one of the highest citizen satisfaction rates, with 97% Lenexa citizens believing that Lenexa is a good or excellent place to live (the remaining 3 percent did not like fun or festivals). When you visit, you can expect to see plenty of people sporting their “I Like Lenexa” gear. If that’s the kind of down-home small town feeling you love, Lenexa is a great place for you.

Especially since it’s is also a thriving community near Kansas City. A population of just over 56,000 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.
