About Edgerton

Perched on the hills of northern Platte County overlooking the Platte River, Edgerton offers quiet, country-style living with easy ties to the greater Kansas City area. It has the feel of a classic rural community, with spread-out homes, open land, and sweeping views of the surrounding river valley. Convenient highway connections make running errands or heading into the city straightforward and hassle-free.

What began as a late-nineteenth-century railroad hub has evolved into a relaxed spot for anyone looking for extra elbow room. Residents enjoy the peace of small-town life alongside quick access to outdoor spots like Smithville Lake, plus an easy drive to Kansas City International Airport and major job centers. It is a practical, down-to-earth Missouri community with plenty of room to breathe.
