RESIDENTIAL GROWTH

Leawood's earliest developer established a system of guidelines, restrictions and codes to ensure that the community's eventual development would create a pleasant and sophisticated living environment. The first 500 homes built in Leawood, in fact, were custom designed by professional architects to reflect the owner's individuality and to avoid stereotypical designs.

The City has grown considerably from its origin as that fledgling residential subdivision. With over fifty years of tradition, Leawood is now widely recognized as a premier residential area and a desirable place to live and work.
