Overland Park is the heart of Johnson County, Kansas, and one of the most popular choices for buyers on the Kansas side of the metro. Our team is licensed in both Missouri and Kansas, so we can help whichever side of State Line fits your life.
Where it sits in the metro
Overland Park and the rest of Johnson County are southwest of downtown Kansas City, on the Kansas side of the state line. I-35, I-435, US-69 and K-10 connect the county to downtown KC and across the metro.
Neighborhoods and housing
Overland Park has everything from established neighborhoods with mature trees to newer subdivisions and walkable areas like Downtown Overland Park. Johnson County also includes Olathe, Lenexa, Shawnee, Leawood and Prairie Village, each with its own character. We’ll help you compare them on commute, home age, lot size and budget.
