Prairie Park

Prairie Park pairs 1990s-and-newer family homes with an amenity most subdivisions can't touch, the Prairie Park Nature Center and Mary's Lake, right in the neighborhood.

Southeast Lawrence's Prairie Park grew up in the 1990s and 2000s around its elementary school and the nature preserve at its heart, where kids feed turtles at the nature center and trails circle Mary's Lake. Housing is mostly three-and-four-bedroom single-family homes with attached garages, newer bones than most of east Lawrence.

With the K-10 bypass at its doorstep, Prairie Park is also the practical choice for commuters to Johnson County or Topeka who want Lawrence schools and small-city life. Price per square foot consistently beats comparable west-side subdivisions, which keeps demand steady.
