Raymore is just south of our Lee’s Summit office, and a lot of our clients end up here for newer homes, a friendly small-city feel and great parks. Here’s a quick guide to what to expect.
Where Raymore sits in the metro
Raymore is in Cass County, just south of Lee’s Summit, which puts you close to the southern Kansas City metro and within reach of downtown KC and the stadium complex.
Neighborhoods and housing
Raymore has a mix of newer subdivisions and established neighborhoods. Each subdivision has its own HOA rules and amenities, so we’ll help you compare them on commute, lot size, home age and budget.
Parks and recreation
Raymore has an impressive park system. The City of Raymore reports more than 285 acres of parkland and green space and more than 20 miles of trails and walking paths, including:
- Hawk Ridge Park: 79 acres with a fishing lake, a paved trail, an amphitheater and the Hawk’s Nest all-inclusive playground. A 2019 renovation made it Missouri’s first inclusive park, according to the City.
- Recreation Park: 62 acres on the south end of town with a baseball complex, skate park and pond.
- T.B. Hanna Station: home to community events like the Mayor’s Tree Lighting, with a covered pavilion, an inclusive playground and sprayground (summer) and an ice skating rink in winter.
- Memorial Park, Moon Valley Park, Ward Park and linear parks with walking trails.
- The Raymore Activity Center and Centerview event space for fitness, programs and gatherings.
