Lee's Summit is in the middle of everywhere. A community that is growing fast, with lots of colleges within driving distance! Museums, shopping, and nightlife all just a short drive away! Great selection of grocery stores for families on a budget or the foodie of the group. It even has a cute downtown, with some great eateries and pubs, family-friendly festivals too!
There are many beautiful places in Lee's Summit. My neighborhood has many lakes, ponds, and trees that provide a nice nature feeling and encourages healthy, outside behavior. My neighborhood even has two close by libraries that operate on a "take one, leave one" bases. Our neighborhood pool is very close-by and is always in great shape. My school is not located in Lee's Summit, however the school district in Lee's Summit has amazing schools that clearly show the funds put into a solid public education program. I have never had any problems with other neighbors and some of my close friends live in the neighborhood with me. Overall, my experiences have been great and I have loved to grow up here!
I love the atmosphere of Lee's Summit. It is a small but bigger town and overall there are many things to do: shopping, eating, movie theaters, parks, swimming pools, etc. Many things to do with the kids and many options for no cost! For the teenagers, there is shopping, movie theaters, many places to eat, and fun places to just hang out! For the adults, there are many bars, pubs, restaurants around the downtown area and overall area to eat and drink! The school district is very good and newly re-divided. Neighborhoods are friendly. There are multiple areas to access lakes if that is something you like to do (Raintree, Longview, Lotawana, Winnebago, etc.) Overall, I love my town and hope others do too!
