Eudora, KS 66025

"I've lived here for five years. It is a town with of about 6500 people. The schools are great. Most people commute to jobs in Lawrence and the Kansas City Metro via K-10. A few commute to Topeka. The people are friendly and most people are actively involved in the local Christian churches of which there are several. Holy Family Catholic Church is the largest community by members with 350 families. They are building a new church building in 2014. In the past 5-10 years new churches were built by the Methodist and Baptist communities as well to meet the needs of the growing population. All of the school buildings are new and very nice, but property taxes reflect that they were paid for with bond issues. Eudora has many community events and parades throughout the year that are well attended. There is strong support for sports and extracurricular activities. FItness is important to community members who can be seen walking, running and biking throughout the town. There is a farmers market and several produce stands throughout the summer selling fresh vegetables. The schools are widely recognized for their academic achievement, and they also do a great job with children with special needs or challenging gifted students. It is a safe town with low crime. Many new neighborhoods have been built in the last 10 years to meet growing demand. Lawrence Memorial Hospital opened a doctors office with in-house physical therapy and a pharmacy. The grocery store is under new management. They are a willing partner with local groups. Several new businesses have moved into the business park on the East side of town on the north side of K-10. Lawrence is building a K-10 loop that will run south of Lawrence and connect to the I-70. Kansas University is only 10-15 minutes from Lawrence, and Kansas State University opened a satellite campus in Olathe about 20 minutes East near the K-10 and K-7 interchange. There is an active arts and music scene in Lawrence. Eudora is a great community!"
