Small-town living bordering some of Kansas City's largest attractions
Located at the edge of the Kansas City metropolitan area, Bonner Springs combines small-town living with the vibrancy of a major city. Residential neighborhoods are quiet, and nearby attractions range from the seasonal Kansas City Renaissance Fair to the revved-up activity of the Kansas Speedway. By 2026, Bonner Springs will be home to a Mattel-brand theme park. Despite so many headline attractions, the city still has a community-focused pace of life. "Bonner is the difference between suburbia and urban living," says Chad Chadwick, a city resident and sales professional with Better Homes and Gardens. "It's centered around a main street, it's got a bandstand, it's got Thursday evening concerts with an ice cream social in the summer. The ballpark and the football fields are where you see a lot of your family and friends." With highway access into the heart of downtown Kansas City, Bonner Springs is popular with commuting workers.
Downtown Bonner Springs features local shops and eateries.
Disc golf is popular at Wyandotte County Park’s course.

Bonner Springs homes range from ranch-style houses to luxury builds
Bonner Springs has a variety of neighborhoods, including shaded streets with older ranch-style homes, newer subdivisions and rural plots of land. Lake of the Forest is a gated, master-planned community within the city. Smaller, older homes start around $150,000 to $300,000, and more updated properties are $300,000 to $600,000. Some luxury or custom-built properties can range between $650,000 and $1 million. "As far as the market, houses don't last too long," says Lori Hobbs, a local broker with Lori Hobbs Real Estate. "There are still affordable houses out there, which is nice. You can get quite a bit more than you can in some areas of Johnson County." However, Chadwick notes that the prices have been on the rise. "Bonner was historically an affordable neighborhood, but the market for the last few years has eliminated a lot of inventory and bumped the prices up," he says.

The city is home to the open-air Azura Amphitheater, an 18,000-person venue that has hosted big names like Kiss and Tim McGraw.

At the National Agricultural Center and Hall of Fame, visitors can explore the role of farming in America's past. In 2026, the city will celebrate the grand opening of Mattel Adventure Park, a family friendly park with all things Mattel, including Hot Wheels-themed coasters, a life-size Barbie Beach House and He-Man laser tag. Bonner Springs is also about 7 miles from large attractions like the Kansas Speedway, Hollywood Casino, the Legends Outlets shopping mall and the American Royal facility, which hosts the World Series of Barbecue competition.

Ten & Two has space for family games and an antique car display. In the summer, downtown has a weekly farmers market and Tiblow Days, a three-day carnival that honors the town's founder, Henry Tiblow.

Fort Leavenworth is a large U.S. Army base about 20 miles north. According to Chadwick, the city's central location is often the main reason why his clients choose Bonner Springs.
