The city of De Soto in Johnson County, Kansas was founded in 1857 by several families of settlers who established themselves around a steam saw mill on the Kansas River. Named after the Spanish explorer Hernando De Soto, the city soon flourished, and today finds itself ranked 6th in city growth, located right between steadily growing Kansas City and Lawrence. De Soto, KS provides the advantages of a location in Johnson County, including lifestyle benefits and business growth, alongside a small-town atmosphere. De Soto real estate options consist of single-family detached homes for sale, condominiums and townhouses as well as land for custom home building. De Soto residents enjoy the open spaces and city and county parks, offering hiking trails, swimming pools, basketball, tennis and volleyball. Boating enthusiasts can enjoy the brand-new boat ramp at the Kansas River, while golfers can venture out on the nine-hole Burning Tree Golf Course or the 18-hole Oak Country Club. Residents also band together to celebrate community events, such as the Fourth of July Celebration and De Soto’s Day Festival. In addition to recreational benefits, De Soto offers residents a multitude of employment opportunities that are close to home, as well as a world-class, technology-driven school district. De Soto’s crime levels are well below the national average, and residents always feel at ease in this pleasant, picturesque city. Residents also love having access to big-city attractions, such as the Kansas City Royals, Worlds of Fun, the Kansas Speedway and Kansas City’s ballet and symphony.
