Lenexa Kansas may come as a surprise to those not familiar with the area, and who are considering relocating or retiring to the scenic setting of the prestigious Lenexa golf course community of Cottonwood Canyon. But, to those who’ve lived in Lenexa for some time, the recent national recognition that Lenexa received would be deemed "a recognition a long time in coming."
Recently, Bloomberg BusinessWeek named Lenexa as one of the “Best Places to Raise Kids in 2013.” Each year, Bloomberg creates this list with one city per state that receives this title, and with a variety of factors that play into naming the best city; we’re proud that our city was crowned the winner for Kansas! Lenexa Mayor Mike Boehm boasted that “We have always known Lenexa is a great place to live and raise a family. Inclusion on this prestigious list is an independent validation of this fact.”
So, what are these factors that determine the winner? Public school systems performance, safety, county-level unemployment, housing costs, median income, and commute time are just a few at the top of the list; and Lenexa proudly stands with only 50 other cities in the nation to receive this great recognition.
Here at Cottonwood Canyon, we can’t help but be proud of our city as it gives us just one more reason to showcase the excellent lifestyle that can be found at Cottonwood Canyon. Not only are you building your dream home in one of the most luxurious and beautiful golf course communities in the Kansas City area; you’re building a lifestyle that exists in an acclaimed and ever growing city.

In fact, just to prove how great Lenexa is for families, we thought we’d point out all that Lenexa is doing for kids as they enjoy their holiday vacation.
