Although some residents of Lenexa apartments may be commuters to nearby Kansas City, Missouri, many people want to work and enjoy the lifestyle of Lenexa itself. Last year, Money Magazine rated Lenexa as the 26th best small town to live in the United States. With the great shopping, community-building annual events and over 30 parks to play sports and enjoy picnics, it's no wonder it's one of the best.
Outdoor recreation is at its finest in this small town of about 45,000 people. The Lenexa
Parks and Recreation Department has smaller parks for younger children to play on playscapes, as well as the larger Sar-ko-par Trails Park on 58 acres. Sar-ko-par Trails has a two acre lake for fishing and skipping stones, an aquatic center park and pool with water slides, basketball and tennis courts, a half soccer field, baseball field, sand volleyball courts, picnic shelters and picnic areas. This is a park to visit for the day. Two other parks, Ad Astra and Flat Rock Creek, offer swimming pools for those hot summer days. A majority of the parks have walking and jogging trails, and Black Hoof and Cedar Station and Hidden Woods parks have lakes.
If you're more into the arts, the Lenexa Arts Council provides a great forum for you to create.. The council hosts various events throughout the year including an Artist's Show competition and a performance in the fall.
When you and your friends want to go shopping to outfit your Lenexa apartments or yourself for that matter, you have plentiful choices when it comes to places to shop. Oak Park Mall is the premier mall in the Kansas City area, located just east of Lenexa in Overland Park with anchor stores such as Dillard's, Macy's and Nordstrom.
When you've finished your shopping odds are good you'll be in the market for a great meal, and you can choose from a fine selection of specialty Italian, Mexican, Japanese and Indian food from places like Denny's, Wallaby's and Shorthorns Restaurant.
Some of the party events to attend as a resident of Lenexa apartments include the Great Lenexa Barbeque Battle in June with secret barbeque recipes from all over, the Freedom Run held every 4th of July along with the Community Days Parade, and the Spinach Festival every September.
Offering charm, amenities and excitement, the people who live in Lenexa apartments are happy with their small town lifestyle.
