Mission, Kansas Real Estate

Mission, KS Real Estate & Community Information

Mission, Kansas, in Northeast Johnson County is nestled on clean suburban streets and is only minutes away from the Kansas City metro area. Mission excels at providing “big city services” in a friendly, small-town atmosphere. Home to approximately 10,000 residents, Mission was primarily rural until 1945. As returning World War II soldiers took advantage of the G.I. Bill, developer J. C. Nichols creatively platted real estate and home sites in what became gracious neighborhoods on tree-lined streets.

Originally called Mission Hill Acres, Mission grew from a pioneer town into a friendly, residential community with three major shopping malls and a million square feet of office space. Mission still offers residents a safe place to live and work. The city boasts a friendly environment with parks, swimming pools, tennis courts, exercise trails and one of the finest multi-functional recreational facilities in the metropolitan area.

Mission students are educated in the Shawnee Mission School District, which is nationally recognized for excellence and consistently ranks within the top five percent in the nation.
