I like Shawnee because it is a good area that fits the needs of people of all ages. For children, the De Soto school district is an amazing school district. For young adults, there are tons of places to hang out or work at. For adults with careers, it is just a quick commute in either direction either in Overland Park, Lenexa, Olathe, or downtown Kansas City. For activities, we have a diverse selection of activities to join that is hosted by Johnson County Parks are Recreation. They also run an all-time favorite park called Shawnee Mission Park that is enjoyable for all ages from beautiful walking/biking trails, a spacious dog park for our fury friends, a large lake for finishing and kayaking on, and play areas that are safe for young kids.
Shawnee is constantly growing! New restaurants, gyms, and grocery stores all opening up every month. It is a very clean town with nice people. Nothing too expensive or outrageously overpriced.
Safe community, wonderful school district. It's pretty stereotypical suburbia, so great for families. It's lacking in diversity but isn't completely white/conservative. There's not much of a night scene and there isn't a ton to do right here in Shawnee, but neighboring cities have good malls and whatnot.
