Old Town is the historic heart of Olathe, where brick storefronts, front-porch blocks, and mature shade trees set an easygoing pace just minutes from major employers. Residents enjoy a quick hop to Overland Park and the rest of Johnson County, with straightforward I-35 access and regional connections via RideKC microtransit and bus service. Weekend routines often start with coffee and a stroll past restored 19th‑century architecture, then roll into community concerts and pop-up markets on warm evenings.
History is woven into everyday life here. Families and history buffs alike frequent the working 1860s farm at Mahaffie Stagecoach Stop & Farm Historic Site, while the local arts scene shines at the nonprofit Olathe Civic Theatre Association. Readers and remote workers gravitate to the light-filled Indian Creek Library, and nature lovers find serenity along prairie and woodland trails at the Ernie Miller Park & Nature Center. Seasonal traditions—like open-air concerts and the city’s farmers’ markets—add a neighborly rhythm to the calendar.
Education is a standout. Old Town is served by Olathe Public Schools (USD 233), with Olathe North High School known for strong academics and extracurriculars. Lifelong learners have easy access to Johnson County Community College for continuing education, workforce programs, and cultural events.
