Gardner – Steady Growth and Strong Demand

Located in Johnson County, Gardner has transformed from a small town into a fast-growing suburb of the Kansas City metro. The town’s growth mirrors broader regional trends—access to highways, good schools, and newer housing stock have all played roles. New construction in the 2010s brought modern amenities and expanded the housing supply.

The pandemic years fueled a surge in demand, reflected in the sharp 15% increase in 2021 and 13% in 2022. While more recent years have seen moderate gains, Gardner remains a solid option for buyers looking for a suburban lifestyle without the top-tier price tag. The community continues to attract residents with its parks, retail options, and proximity to major employers.

Princeton – Big Gains in a Small Package

Princeton, located in Franklin County, is one of Kansas’s smaller towns—but its housing market is no small story. With fewer properties available, even modest demand can push values sharply upward. And that’s exactly what happened starting around 2015 when interest in exurban living began to grow.

Recent years have brought even more attention to Princeton, especially from buyers looking for space and privacy within a reasonable commute of larger job centers. Despite its size, the market here is dynamic and responsive, and the 2025 median of $355,190 is a dramatic shift from its sub-$130K values a decade and a half ago.

The post-2020 housing boom hit Baldwin hard—in a good way. Prices jumped more than $50K in 2021 alone. With newer developments and proximity to Lawrence and the KC metro, demand has stayed strong. Despite its rise in price, Baldwin City still offers relatively good value given its location and character.
