Elwood, Kansas is a compact riverfront community directly across the Missouri River from St. Joseph, Missouri, so you’ll enjoy quiet, affordable week-to-week living with easy access to restaurants, parks and essential services in a small‑town setting.
When you want more—weekend nightlife, museums or a major airport—Kansas City is roughly 48 miles away, giving Elwood a low‑key home base that still puts big‑city options within a comfortable drive.
