Living in Lenexa
Lenexa sits right in the middle of Johnson County, so getting around the metro is easy. It's grown a lot over the years but still feels friendly and close knit, and Lenexa City Center has become the spot where people meet up for dinner, shopping, and events.
You'll find established streets on the east side and newer neighborhoods out west, so there's a fit whether you want quiet or a little more going on.
If you want to be central without losing that community feel, Lenexa is a great place to start looking.
