West of SLT: Housing Boom Ahead | Lawrence News

West of the South Lawrence Trafficway is set for massive change as the city approves a 300-acre annexation paving the way for hundreds of new homes—and next week, another 177 acres could bring over a thousand more. A bold push for R-5 zoning on a 38-acre stretch along the trafficway could pack in 1,200+ apartments or condos, slashing parking requirements and freeing up space for housing. This shift toward dense, transit-friendly development marks a dramatic departure from the area’s suburban vibe, with D & S Land LLC—longtime landowner, not developer—leading the charge. The Planning Commission will vote soon; final approval rests with the City Commission. Big things are coming for west Lawrence.
