Leawood, MO

Leawood is a quiet residential village in Newton County, situated just south of Joplin. The community consists largely of peaceful subdivisions, established homes, and generous yards, giving it a relaxed feel with plenty of green space. Without major commercial strips cutting through town, the village maintains a calm, low-traffic atmosphere that feels tucked away while staying well connected to the rest of the area.

Families in the village are part of the Joplin School District, with local students attending Stapleton Elementary, South Middle School, and Joplin High School. Because Leawood is almost entirely residential, residents make the short drive into Joplin for work, healthcare, shopping, and dining. It is a great fit for anyone looking for a quiet neighborhood to come home to while keeping city amenities just minutes away.
