Gaslight Village Neighborhood Guide
Gaslight Village sits in southwest Lawrence, tucked between 23rd Street and Clinton Parkway with Iowa Street and Ousdahl Road marking its edges, putting residents within easy reach of parks, schools, and the everyday conveniences along Iowa Street. The neighborhood draws young families and longtime Lawrencians alike with its tree-lined streets, architecturally distinct homes, and the kind of sidewalk culture that actually gets used. It has a genuine starter-home character without feeling like a subdivision, and the community ties here tend to run deeper than a Facebook group. The tradeoff for all that charm is real: street parking disappears fast when neighbors have guests, so anyone who entertains regularly learns to plan ahead. If walkability, neighborhood familiarity, and a sense of place matter more than square footage, Gaslight Village tends to deliver.
