I am used to living in a more rural area but I have definitely enjoyed my experience living in Shawnee. The schools are amazing and there are tons of opportunities. This is certainly a family friendly community and it is a great place to live. Most of Shawnee is middle class/upper-middle class; so affordability is occasionally an issue. Overall, Shawnee is a great place to live and start a family and to grow connections with a welcoming community!
Moved to Shawnee from Olathe 6 months ago and absolutely love it. Small commute time to downtown as well as popular places in Shawnee, Olathe, Lenexa, and Overland Park. The community aspect makes me feel right at home. I feel safe in the welcoming family-friendly environment.
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.
