Pomona rewards a slower pace and strong community ties, with quick connections to larger amenities in Ottawa, Baldwin City, and the services of Franklin County. Weekends often revolve around the outdoors: boat, paddle, or fish at Pomona Lake’s coves and campgrounds via the official resources at Pomona State Park and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. When you’re not on the water, the crushed-limestone miles of Prairie Spirit Trail State Park invite family bike rides and quiet morning runs.
Families appreciate local schooling through West Franklin USD 287, known for close student-teacher connections and community-backed athletics and arts. High school games and concerts draw neighbors together, while the City of Pomona keeps everyone informed on utility services, permits, and seasonal events. For a dose of regional history, the Old Depot Museum offers engaging exhibits, and nearby Ottawa University adds collegiate lectures, performances, and athletics to the cultural mix.
Living here means front-porch evenings, Friday night lights, and weekend adventures minutes from home—plus an easy drive to jobs and shopping in surrounding communities. Whether you’re moving for the schools, the lake life, or the small-town feel with room to grow, Pomona delivers an everyday comfort that’s hard to replicate.
