“I have never worked with such an amazing & honest Realtor in my life. Jason provided me with so much information I've never ever seen that much before. I truly think if I would of called him at 2am he would of answered. Now I asked him for alot of extra help. Too much truthfully but he would respond almost immediately & if I needed help with something or had a question he was on it & I never was left hanging once. I'm so thankful I found him & he impressed me immediately. I wish every realtor could be like him 1 word "Exceptionalizsm".”

Barker neighborhood in Lawrence offers residents a vibrant community atmosphere combined with charming local amenities and easy access to outdoor recreation for an enriching lifestyle.
Barker. A favorite for people who prize walkability and character, this east-central Lawrence neighborhood blends early-20th-century bungalows, tidy foursquares, and renovations under tree canopies. Its location puts you minutes from Downtown, with the creative pull of East Lawrence and trails in Brook Creek close by, and KU’s student energy just over in Oread. Daily life feels easy and neighborly in Lawrence, where front porches, sidewalk chats, and block gatherings shape the rhythm.
Outdoor time comes naturally on the Burroughs Creek Trail and Linear Park, a shady north–south corridor ideal for jogging, biking, and dog walks; South Park’s lawns and festivals are a quick ride away. Campus performances, museums, and game days at the University of Kansas add year-round buzz, while Haskell Indian Nations University contributes meaningful cultural programming.
Families benefit from Lawrence Public Schools (USD 497), with nearby campuses such as Cordley Elementary, Liberty Memorial Central, and Lawrence High. Commuting stays simple thanks to Lawrence Transit, bike-friendly streets, and quick access to main arteries, yet the residential blocks remain calm. Coffee spots, everyday services, and independent eateries line 19th Street and Massachusetts Street, keeping errands close.
If you’re buying or selling in Barker, Agent Pronto can connect you with a trusted local real estate pro who knows the neighborhood and the wider market.
