Gardner, Kansas is one of the most rapidly-growing communities in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Located along Interstate 35 just 20 miles from downtown Kansas City, Gardner is an historic community with a keen vision for the future. Its roots stretch back 150 years to its founding along the route of the Santa Fe and Oregon trails. Gardner’s location along transportation routes is perhaps more significant today with its unique combination of interstate, air and rail infrastructure. The adjacent New Century AirCenter is the Kansas City region’s premier multimodal business park. With excellent freeway access and uncongested traffic, Gardner residents enjoy the same comparably quick commutes as do other Johnson County residents.
- Gardner has some of the area’s most affordable housing with an average home value that is 34% below the Johnson County average.
- The average teacher in the Gardner-Edgerton School District has eight years teaching experience and 65% have a graduate degree.
- District students earned 2nd Place in the nation in the 2001 National
Engineering Design Challenge and were State Champions in the Odyssey of the Mind competitions in 1991, 1995, 1996, 1998, and 2000.
- Gardner’s Greenway Trail system connects the city’s neighborhoods, parks and downtown through a network of walking/biking trails that is continually being expanded with each arterial street improvement.
