The ever-changing Leawood
Just over 8 miles from downtown Columbus, the suburb of Leawood has community roots with a promise for growth and expansion. With homes dating back to the 50s and 60s, the city matches what people invest in the upkeep and repair of their houses. “I would think one of the positive things about Leawood is the growth and the opportunity for development,” says Realtor Frederica Kagai with e-Merge Real Estate. “Just driving through that area, you can see the change week to week.” Even with continual change, the neighborhood has important staples, from bakeries to pharmacies, preserving the area’s culture.
Leawood is a small charming community sprinkled with trees.
There are many gorgeous well cared for ranchers in Leawood.

Leawood brick and siding ranches
Most homes in Leawood are brick and siding ranches along narrow streets with sidewalks wide enough to fit one person. Many have a two-car garage or a carport, but it isn’t uncommon to find homes without either option. Some Colonial-style townhomes are available by Carlton Avenue, offering an alternative to single-family housing. “They were built as rowhouses for the military so they could access the Defense Supply Center in Columbus to the north,” Kagai says. “While most homes are in the $200,000 range, you can find homes below that, too. They’re going to be typically between 1,000 and 1,500 square feet.”
Leawood has many ranch style homes lining the streets.
Ranch homes with mixed material facades can be found throughout Leawood.

German bakeries and old-fashioned pharmacies in Leawood

Here, locals can find fresh pastries and bakery items, from donuts to rolls and pretzels. They even offer seasonal donut flavors. White’s Pharmacy is another longtime business. "It's an old mom-and-pop pharmacy with customer service that you typically wouldn’t get if you’re going to another type of store with a pharmacy,” Kagai says. For a night out, Flavor 91 Bistro seasons their burgers with Ethiopian flavors and uses other meats, like lamb, for their burgers.
