A thriving suburban community with Kansas City at your fingertips

Suburb Commuter Safe Low Crime Schools Family Friendly Affordable

The small city of Liberty is a cozy suburban city positioned just outside the northeastern corner of Kansas City, about fifteen miles from the Power and Light District. While largely serving as a residential suburb for its larger neighbor, Liberty hosts a thriving shopping, dining, and entertainment scene of its own: a large cluster of shopping centers on the west side offers a huge selection of major chain stores, while the Downtown district surrounding the historic Clay County Courthouse features a diverse selection of charming coffeehouses, taverns, specialty shops, and other locally-owned businesses in the vintage storefronts.

The diverse rental market features a terrific selection of apartments, condos, and houses to fit any budget, and the great schools and low crime rate have helped make Liberty one of the Kansas City area’s most desirable communities among folks raising families.
