Single-family homes as well as apartments and condos in low-rise buildings dot the streets of the Lykins neighborhood of Kansas City, which sits about three miles due east of the downtown area. This neighborhood has bonded together in a unique way to create a sustainable community centered around the idea of urban agriculture.

Lykins stays well connected to the rest of Kansas City and beyond with its easy access to Interstate 70.
