My family and I just moved to the Leawood, KS area in late July 2019. We moved from Lebanon, MO, a small town in central Missouri. We came here in the hopes of having new, never-ending, suburban adventures. We were a little disappointed. Sure, the restaurants and shopping centers are always nice, but there isn't much beyond that. Our neighborhood is terribly boring and full of middle-aged women always complaining to the HOA that are trash cans are partially visible. They look down at us as if we are nothing more than low-class hillbillys. And on top of that, we pay fee after fee and tax after tax for things that we've never even heard of. The public school isn't much better either. It is the most average and boring place I have ever been to. All in all, this place is flashy, but not worth the price tag.
The number one benefit of living in Leawood is the shopping centers nearby. Leawood is surrounded by numerous shopping areas, such as Town Center and Prariefire, where you have access to a variety of different stores and boutiques. Also, Leawood has many restaurants nearby, so there is always a good place to eat. Lastly, Leawood has many parks that are connected by trails that you are able to walk or ride bikes on, which is a fun way to get outdoors.
I love Leawood. Leawood is an amazing suburb filled with excellent school districts, efficient and effective emergency services, and entertaining shops, restaurants, and activities. There are a plethora of shopping centers filled with quality stores; for example, Apple is located in the Town Center Crossing. Additionally, places such as Blade and Timber and Top Golf incorporate food, connectedness, and fun.
