About 9 miles from Topeka, Grantville is a small community in the Kansas countryside, surrounded by fields and farmland. "It's in Jefferson County and it's got a small-town, country feel," says Tracy O'Brien, a Realtor with KW One Legacy Partners who has been selling homes for nearly 30 years. "It's just a small little community, and that's what a lot of people are looking for. They want to get out of the hustle and bustle." Grantville is home to under 200 people and consists of a few residential blocks with farms on all sides. While the area's tranquility is a big draw, U.S. Route 24 offers a quick drive west to Topeka, putting shopping, dining and employment all within quick reach.
