Welcome to Fairway, KS

 
A charming suburban neighborhood minutes from downtown Kansas City.
 
Spanning just 1.1 square miles, the pocket-sized neighborhood of Fairway in northern Johnson County is a highly coveted residential destination. Close to big-city amenities and boasting large, updated homes, Fairway is an affluent neighborhood close to award-winning restaurants, sprawling scenic country clubs, and excellent school districts. 
 
Minutes from Kansas City and surrounding communities, Fairway is a quaint, suburban town with just 4,100 residents. In the 1820s, the area was reserved by the Shawnee tribe, with the Shawnee Methodist Mission built on the grounds in 1839. The neighborhood was eventually incorporated in 1949 and called “Fairway” because of the proximity to local golf courses and country clubs. A “City of Trees” overflowing with gorgeous green spaces and parks, Fairway is a historic town just ten minutes outside of Kansas City brimming with charming characteristics that put Fairway on the map as one of the top suburbs in Kansas.
