Roughly halfway between Topeka and Kansas City along I-70, Lawrence is a city teeming with character and appeal. The University of Kansas is the city’s most obvious feature, and Lawrence is undeniably a college town. As a result, the community has a distinctly cosmopolitan vibe, with a lively academic population, thriving arts and entertainment scene, and strong downtown nightlife.
The music scene in particular has been widely recognized as the best in the region, with national headliners passing through on a regular basis and local artists creating music of every genre. Outdoor attractions abound as well, with Clinton Lake, Lawrence Nature Park, and Kansas Riverfront Park all drawing locals regularly. Clinton State Park hosts the popular Wakarusa Music and Camping Festival, a regional favorite that is often compared to larger events like Tennessee’s Bonnaroo.
Lawrence houses an endless variety of rental options.
