Some of the prettiest houses and most well-tended gardens in Johnson County are located in Westwood, a small town of tidy neighborhoods in the most northeast corner of the county.
Westwood occupies just over one square mile of thickly treed hills. It borders both Kansas City, Missouri, and Kansas City, Kansas.
Its community amenities include parks, tennis courts and a collection of specialty shops, restaurants and businesses, which include an attractive private tennis/health club.
Mostly though Westwood is known for its quiet streets where homes are often sold before a real estate sign goes up and its neighborhoods where people plan amazing gardens, raise children and gather with friends for picnics.
