Lake Annette, MO

Set in Cass County just south of the Kansas City metro, Lake Annette is a tiny, quiet community centered around the private lake that gave it its name. Home to around a hundred residents, the neighborhood has a charming backstory: the lake first filled during a spring rainstorm in 1957, and the original developers named it after their daughter, who was born that very night. Today, it offers a peaceful, rural retreat where life moves at a relaxed pace. Local kids attend the nearby Midway R-I schools, and while the neighborhood feels delightfully secluded, you are still within an easy drive of everyday shopping and conveniences in Harrisonville.
