Leawood

Leawood combines the calm of predominantly residential streets with a metropolitan edge in a way that reflects its position on the Kansas side of the Kansas City urban area. Tomahawk Creek runs through the city, with a greenway trail connecting parks and neighbourhoods in a landscape once shaped by prairie and farmland. Incorporated in 1948, Leawood developed as a postwar suburb while retaining its own civic identity. Town Center Plaza and Park Place bring shops, restaurants and offices together near the city’s northern side, while Ironwoods Park adds wooded public space and sports facilities. Its proximity to State Line Road also underscores the close ties between Kansas and Missouri. See how Leawood relates to the wider Kansas City metropolitan area by browsing webcams nearby.
