About Ozawkie
Ozawkie has a unique history: it is a town that literally picked up and moved. In the 1960s, when the construction of Perry Lake was set to flood the original Delaware River valley site, residents banded together to buy higher ground and rebuild the entire community from scratch. That move preserved a historic settlement dating back to 1855 while creating the quiet, hilltop neighborhood that sits here today.
Living in Ozawkie means having Perry Lake right in your backyard for boating, fishing, and weekend camping at the state park. Local kids attend the nearby Jefferson West schools, and the pace of daily life stays peaceful and relaxed year-round. With both Topeka and Lawrence roughly thirty minutes away, commuting for work, shopping, and dining is an easy drive.
