City of Mission Hills

The City of Mission Hills is located in NE Johnson County, Kansas, & was envisioned in 1912 by urban planner J.C. Nichols, who developed the renowned Country Club Plaza district in Kansas City.
Mission Hills sports Fountains, Statues, Sculptures & Urns, many of which are 100's of years old, and some are actual museum pieces imported from overseas. They decorate the traffic islands & adorn roadsides. But there's more.... You'll see Ford's crossing Creeks & Heron waiting patiently in Water Gardens for a meal. This is Mission Hills. America’s first & foremost Garden Community.

A cozy informality sends a welcome message to new & old residents alike. Shorts & sandals are regular attire at summer barbecues. Community events, like the annual Street Fair or the Verona Columns Concert, attract family members of all ages. Spend a little time here and you quickly discover a central truth: that the pleasant surroundings are matched by the outlook of the people who live there.
