Homes for Sale in Stilwell, KS by Price

Rural Serenity in a Convenient Location

Even though Stilwell is just 20 minutes from both Olathe and Overland, you'd never guess that the city was so close by thanks to the quiet country land and secluded atmosphere of this small town. With a population just under 8,000, Stilwell is a rapidly-developing but still largely rural town just south of Kansas City.

Currently comprised mostly of homes located on larger lots or acreage, significant growth is expected to continue as the demand for more suburban housing in Johnson County increases. This demand has created an attractive land and real estate market in Stilwell and the surrounding areas.
