North of the Kansas River · Lawrence, KS 66044
North Lawrence
Big lots, gardens, and a small-town feel across the bridge
Across the Kansas River bridge from downtown, North Lawrence offers something rare, genuine elbow room inside the city, with large lots, gardens, and a quieter pace two minutes from Massachusetts Street.
North Lawrence grew up as its own river town, and it still feels that way: generous lots, mature trees, backyard gardens, and neighbors who know each other. The levee trail along the Kansas River is the neighborhood's shared backyard for cyclists and dog owners, and Johnny's Tavern, a Lawrence institution, sits at its heart.
Housing stock runs from early-1900s farmhouses to mid-century ranches, often priced meaningfully below comparable square footage south of the river. Buyers who want room for a shop, garden, or future addition, without leaving city limits, should have Bryan show them North Lawrence first.
