Kearney offers country living near a lake and bigger cities
Through its mix of subdivision housing and acreage properties, Kearney of Clay County, Missouri offers the comforts of country living. “This area is straight east of Smithville Lake, so a lot of people who enjoy water sports and fishing live here," says area local and Realtor Brandi Walker of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. The lake is 12 miles away via Country Road and neighbors love to swim along its beaches. Kearney is also just 10 miles from the city of Liberty and 25 miles from downtown Kansas City. Walker highlights Kearney's impressive school district and that it’s famously the home of Jesse James, the controversial outlaw who killed many and looted a quarter million. “You can still tour his home if you want to. I’ve been there a few times.” Aside from James and his outlaw activities, Kearney is also the birthplace of Harry S. Truman.
Jesse James Park in Kearney offers scenic trails and a spring-fed lake for outdoor activities.
