Established in the 1950s, Leawood is a neighborhood just north of Glenbrook's shopping and industrial parks. Even with all that activity nearby, it still has a quiet, suburban vibe and stays connected to the green spaces along Big Walnut Creek. The area also draws in buyers looking ahead to future growth.
Leawood has a mix of midcentury ranch-style homes and split-levels with attached garages. Many homes have been updated over the years with refreshed kitchens, new baths and modern flooring. “I would think one of the positive things about Leawood is the growth and the opportunity for development,” says Realtor Fredrika Kagai with e-Merge Real Estate. “Just driving through that area, you can see the change week to week.” Prices range from the low $100,000s to the mid-$200,000s. The median price for a single-family home in Leawood is in the low $200,000s, putting it on par with surrounding neighborhoods like Shady Lane, Beechwood, Glenbrook and Pine Hills. Renters outnumber homeowners in the area two to one.
Just outside the neighborhood, Kraner Park is a wooded conservation area that protects wildlife habitats and connects to the larger Big Walnut Park in Shady Lane. Covering more than 130 acres, Big Walnut Park has ball diamonds, basketball and tennis courts, a stocked fishing pond and a dog park. The Far East Community Center has rooms for art and dance classes and hosts a seasonal mobile market with fresh produce.
Interstate 70 runs along the neighborhood’s southern edge and gives you a straight shot to downtown Columbus, about 10 miles away. South Hamilton Road cuts through the area for everyday getting around, and Interstate 270 helps with regional travel. The Central Ohio Transit Authority runs a bus service with stops on Livingston and Dundee avenues.
Within a couple of miles of Leawood, residents often shop along the South Hamilton Road corridor, which has everyday essentials like Kroger, Walmart Supercenter and Target, plus casual dining and services. The surrounding area has several popular, locally owned restaurants, including:
Leawood is part of the Columbus City Schools district. Leawood Elementary School is in the neighborhood, and students typically head to Sherwood Middle School and Walnut Ridge High School from there. Walnut Ridge High School offers Career-Technical Education (CTE) programs that help students build vocational skills.
