Leawood West offers desirable suburban homes in a tight-knit community

“Leawood West is a classic 1970s Midwestern, big-family, tight-knit community,” says Mark Taylor of Nebraska Realty. “While many of the homes were built for large families, with five and six kids, the homes are still in high demand today.” Taylor grew up here, and his parents continue to live in the family home. Homeowners today take pride in a community where everyone knows their neighbors and long-standing traditions – like the 4th of July parade and weekly swim meets in the summer – are still popular. Even though the average family is smaller today than in the 1970s, homes in Leawood West have been gracefully adapted to 21st-century preferences thanks to savvy thinking by today’s owners. Basements have transitioned to fitness rooms and home offices, while extra bedrooms are now dressing rooms or meditation rooms.
