Lenexa
Lenexa has come a long way from it’s early days as a small town along the Santa Fe Trail! The city is growing faster than ever, both commercially and residentially.
For many years residents of Lenexa have enjoyed numerous quality of life amenities the city provides, including safe and appealing neighborhoods, excellent schools, beautiful parks, quality infrastructure, a strong commercial and employment base, cultural and recreational facilities, volunteer opportunities, and the festivals for which Lenexa is widely known.
Things To Do
The Great Lenexa BBQ Battle, home of the Kansas State Championship, marks the beginning of summer each June. Later the Lenexa Chili Challenge draws thousands to Old Town Lenexa to taste some of the finest chili in the Midwest! Building on this dynamic past, community planning initiatives like Lenexa City Center aim to ensure Lenexa remains an outstanding place to live, work and play long into the future.
