About Leawood

Leawood lies along the state line east of Overland Park and was incorporated in 1948 (Wikipedia: Leawood, Kansas). It is largely residential, with neighborhoods built over several decades from north to south.

Garages here

Wide and heavy doors: carriage-house, wood-look and custom doors are common, and heavier doors need correctly sized springs.
Side-load and three-car garages: more doors, more springs and openers to keep track of.
Homes associations: many set rules on door color, style and windows.
