Lenexa: A Global Friendly Community

Lenexa is part of a large and diverse region with a welcoming collection of cities and communities. There are myriad civic and cultural organizations that can help ease the transition for individuals who may relocate here from outside the U.S.

From ethnic restaurants and social groups to language and cultural immersion programs, there are many resources and opportunities available to help make the move as comfortable and enjoyable as possible!

Our centralized location, quality infrastructure, cost of living well below the national average, strong commercial and employment base, excellent schools, and outstanding amenities also draw international companies looking to find a home and access North American markets.
