Greenwood, MO

Tucked just south of Lee's Summit on the southeastern edge of the Kansas City metro, Greenwood offers a quiet, small-town atmosphere with a population of around 6,000. Railroad tracks still run through the center of town, dividing cozy residential neighborhoods and a quaint historic downtown from open fields, ponds, and wooded acreage to the northeast. It is the kind of community where you can enjoy wide-open skies and a slower pace of life while staying within easy reach of the city.
