Gardner is located in Johnson County
Population: 15,000
Gardner is a young, growing community 25 miles southwest of downtown Kansas City along Interstate 35. Gardner has good freeway access to all the shopping, recreation, attractions, medical facilities and other amenities throughout the metropolitan area. On the other hand, Gardner also offers a small town, somewhat nostalgic flavor that many people long for.
Although Gardner was founded in 1857 and was connected to the Santa Fe Railroad in the 1870s, the population was small until the recent residential boom. Gardner has an abundance of affordable new homes which have attracted thousands of young families seeking the dream of new home ownership. While the average home price is $175,000 homes are available from about $80,000 to over $500,000. In addition to single family homes, townhomes, duplexes, senior housing and some lake properties are available.
The Santa Fe and Oregon Trails both passed through the area and forked just west of town. Gardner’s city slogan “Where the trails divide” and Gardner-Edgerton High School’s mascot “The Trailblazers” both stem from the town’s unique location in history.
Today Gardner is the fastest growing small city in Kansas and one of the fastest growing in the entire Midwest. In addition to the residential construction boom, Gardner is experiencing new commercial and industrial growth. A retired Naval Air Station has been developed into the Johnson County Industrial Airport and New Century Industrial Park. A Sprint-Nextel complex in New Century is one of the largest office buildings in the Kansas City Metropolitan area. Although there is much new in Gardner, the community maintains an attractive “small town” business center and some older, established neighborhoods as well.
Gardner is a town on the move with a very bright future.
