Lake Lotawana: A Waterfront Legacy Since the 1920s
Established in 1927 as a private lake resort community, Lake Lotawana was designed as a place where Kansas Citians could retreat, relax, and recharge. Today, it’s grown into a thriving residential town that still captures that lakeside charm—with year-round living, modern amenities, and a strong sense of community.
Compared to nearby Lee’s Summit, Lake Lotawana offers more privacy, exclusive lake access, and a more relaxed, nature-focused lifestyle, all while remaining within easy driving distance to the city.
