Southwest Missouri city in rural Cass County

Harrisonville is on the southern outskirts of the Kansas City metro, and is the county seat of Cass County. Surrounded by rural southern Missouri, the city offers a historic downtown square, 400 acres of outdoor recreation and proximity to a major interstate. "We're surrounded by Missouri's beautiful countryside, so it's not a hustle-and-bustle kind of place. Still though, with the highways coming into town, we have easy commuting," says Laurence Smith, a local broker who owns Reece & Nichols Smith Realty. It saw a slight increase in population up to 10,121 in the 2020 census. The economy is supported by jobs in the healthcare, education and manufacturing sectors.

The Harrisonville Square is filled with history, unique businesses and is the heart of the community.

Classical Revival homes near the square

With a median listing price of just under $280,000, homes in Harrisonville are considered more affordable than the KC and national median. "Affordability is a big factor in Cass County.

Properties range from antique Classical Revival homes in Harrisonville's small downtown to early 1900s constructions in the surrounding areas. Custom builds vary from wood-sided traditionals and split-levels, while recent construction in subdivisions like Glen Eagle and Katy Trail offers larger, more roomy floorplans. Most properties have most have 1500 to 1800 square feet, but newly constructed homes often have over 3,000. Tall trees and spacious lawns also decorate most homes in Harrisonville, lending the city a spacious feeling.
