Westwood – Small Size, Big Demand
Westwood sits in Johnson County, tucked just inside the Kansas state line and surrounded by Kansas City metro suburbs. Its compact size, quiet neighborhoods, and short drive to downtown Kansas City make it a favorite for those who want convenience without urban density.
