Prairie Village, Kansas, is the county's sixth largest city and the largest of the cluster of first-ring suburbs in the northeast corner of the county.
Often cited by other communities as an example of a developers artful blending of residential, recreational and retail development to create a community. Thanks to good planning and a tradition of neighborhood pride, the streets of Prairie Village are deeply shaded and lined by well-kept Cape Cods and ranches.
The town attracts young families and older homeowners. In 2005, Prairie Village began work on Village Vision, a partnership between city government and the citizens to develop a plan for the city's future. Prairie Village occupies 6.7 square miles and is home to 12 city parks with 55 acres, a renovated swimming pool complex (which includes six pools), a 10-court tennis complex, the new Harmon Park Skate Park, the R.G. Endres art gallery in city hall and four shopping centers.
