Homes for Sale in Shawnee, KS by Price
A Historic Settlement Turned Bustling Suburb
Shawnee was settled by “pioneers” in 1876 and named for one of the local Indian tribes. The Oregon Trail, California Trail and Santa Fe Trail all crossed Shawnee area real estate, giving it a colorful history. Farmers and fur traders first stimulated the growth of Shawnee and later settlers from Ireland, German and Belgium came to the area to farm and grow fruit. That character and diversity continues to thrive and is celebrated in Shawnee to this day.
Today, Shawnee is one of the fastest growing communities in the United States. This suburb of Kansas City has a population of more than 62,000 and is only a 20 minute commute from the Kansas City Metro area. Shawnee is conveniently located to almost anything you could want, from shopping and dining to sports arenas and interesting and excellent museums. This gives everyone plenty of recreation and leisure options as well as one of the finest and most affordable places to live in the nation.
