Leawood is a very safe community with a slew of phenomenal and active local businesses. In typical midwest fashion, everyone here is incredibly nice and inviting. Leawood is an affluent and predominantly white community however. While I enjoyed growing up in such a great community, as I begin to gain a more diverse knowledge of Kansas and the US it is apparent the community is not as vibrant as it could be! In time though, I do believe Leawood's phenomenal school systems, as well as their wonderful public amenities, will attract a more diverse and vibrant community!
I adore the scenery and people here, everything is lovely! There are many parks to visit, and the weather varies all year round from, gorgeous summer days, to homey snowy days. There are many cute shops and restaurants. Leawood encompasses a nice friendly environment.
Leawood is a beautiful city, that almost doesn't feel like kansas at all (in the best way)! It is safe, theres lots to do, and the people are very nice. There are also GREAT schools in this area. The only downside is that Leawood is not the most diverse city.
