    • Abstract:
      The article offers general information on the town of Leawood located in Kansas. It is famous for its affluent bedroom community houses. The town began to grow in the late 1930s when the Kroh Bros, real estate company undertook a major development. About 90% of Leawood's working population commute by car to Kansas City. They are heavily Republican, many of them professional people, lawyers and doctors. The suburb is highly residential, with inadequate public services.
