Roeland Park, Kansas, extends from 47th Street (County Line Road) south to 53rd Street and west from Mission Road to Nall Avenue with Roe Avenue running north and south through its center.
Mostly a residential community in the northeast corner of the county, it has attracted a number of businesses to the Roe corridor because of its access to I-35.
A highlight of its central business district is the new Bella Roe Plaza. With 212,000 square-feet of retail development it is already home to several restaurants, a bank, a new grocery store and a new home improvement center.
A tradition of affordability makes Roeland Park especially attractive to first time home buyers. Along with casual friendliness, closeness to shopping and I-35 connection. It has five churches, a city park and four pocket parks, a new skate park, a Johnson County library branch and a community center with a domed aquatics facility (50-meter pool, lap lanes, zero depth, vortex pool and slides).
A "Tree City USA" for 13 years and named a "Sterling City" by the Arbor Day Foundation for its trees, Roeland Park employs its own urban forester who works with residents to help maintain the towns trees (it is No. 1 in Kansas in tree foliage coverage).
