The city of Lenexa is located in northeastern Kansas and is a southern suburb to the greater Kansas City area. In 2009, Money Magazine named it #26 on their list of the top small towns to live in.

The local parks and recreation district puts on a number of regular events as well. Apartments here are perfect for students attending either of the two post-secondary institutions: Friends University or Brown Mackie College.

nique Flavors and Festivals

The community puts on several festivals which draw crowds annually, including the Great Lenexa BBQ Battle where some 200 teams compete for a championship accompanied by live music and entertainment. Once a spinach-growing region, the city also puts on an annual Spinach Festival with food and fun each September. Other local festivals include the Lenexa Chili Challenge and Tails on the Trails Pet Festival. As a community conscious of its natural resources, Lenexa puts on the annual Waterfest and Rain Barrel Parade which call attention to water usage and other environmental issues.

Remembering the Local Heritage

Originally named for the widow of Chief Blackhoof of the Shawnee Native Americans, Na-Nex-Se, the city pays tribute to its Native American and early American settler origins in exhibits displayed in the Lenexa Historical Society and Legler Barn Museum. The Society works to teach the local history of the area which was settled in the 1860s and is located a few miles east of Westport, Missouri at the beginning of the Old Santa Fe Trail.
