So my sister lived in blue Springs off of Sunset Street.. and I visit her every holiday every weekend.. blue Springs is really nice and quiet. I love the fact that my kids would come for the weekend and they could run and play in the neighborhood bouncing from yard to yard with no problem. Parks and lakes it was fun.. they had a lot of shopping places Workout centers and family dollar. But I appreciated the most was that it was quiet and if we got a little rowdy in the backyard on holidays, no one really made a big scene or called the cops. We knew to quiet down at a reasonable time but also I love that we got to enjoy ourselves on her property. The neighbors were friendly. He had a pet squirrel. 😅 Blue Springs Rock. ❤🎉

Name top 5 popular new subdivisions in lees summit thanks

Those are some dumpy looking houses lol and you look like a used car salesman trying to pawn off a Yugo on to country bumkins lmao

Downtown needs a grocery store and other developments. Crime is real especially that RV situation is terrifying. Morningside community area. Murder and vandals and theft. Scary. I love my Levasy are better and Blue Springs is very awesome 😎👍 just bad things happen in the metro especially Blue Springs.

Houses are too expensive now, along with everything else... Trying to put people on the streets. Criminal behavior.

Welcome to Olethe Ben! visit us at @La Fresca and have some crepes, Fresh Juice or Ice Cream!

I'm on south OP. Cash is definitely king. I'm in a high-demand neihhborhood cause it's maintenance free, mid-size villas, thus, somewhat older buyers that have cashed out on longtime real estate. Based on that, we aren't affected by the rates. I feel so bad for buyers that need mortgages; it seems so unfair at 8%. Great video.

I may well be moving to Kansas City or the general region. I have a friend in Kansas City, and my cousin lives in Kearney. While the most expensive houses in Kansas City are obviously much more expensive than the most expensive houses in Kearney, I was VERY surprised to learn that the median home value in Kearney is much, much higher than the median home value in Kansas City. It is not even close. I figured it would be the exact opposite since Kearney is way out in the boondocks seemingly halfway to f'ing Iowa. I don’t understand why Kearney is so pricey compared to Kansas City. They supposesly have better schools than Kansas City (better public schools anyway). However, I have no youths. Also, they supposedly have a lower crime rate and are less ghetto-fabulous. I don’t know. But I am wondering WHY it is more expensive in Kearney. There MUST be some reason. I don’t mind paying the extra money and living in a tiny town in the middle of the boondocks if there is some legitimate REASON for it. But in most metro areas, it gets cheaper the further outside the city limits and into the wilderness one ventures (not the other way around). That is certainly true in San Francisco and Miami. If the only reason Kearney is more expensive on average than Kansas City is better public schools, I would just as soon go with Kansas City as I have no youths and even if I did I would send them to private schools like my parents did me. Why IS Kearney more expensive?

You missed out by not going into Vader's. It is a great place to eat.

Love the video Ben, keep up the content!

Nice video. Olathe has become really sprawled out.

Prairie highlands is one of the best golf courses in the KC METRO!!

STUPID CRAZY

Prices have doubled.

I moved to Raytown from Salina, KS about 1.5yrs ago and I LOVE Raytown. My neighbors are SUPER FRIENDLY, all the people I've met have been nice. It's a dream location compared to where I came from. We were checking out crime stoppers etc for crime levels and stuff in Raytown and almost didn't buy our house here cause it said it was very dangerous here. But in all reality its not anymore dangerous here than anywhere else in the city. I LOVE living in KC, its got a vibe that makes you wanna be apart of it, and the pride you feel knowing you're apart of something greater than yourself is amazing. Where I came from there wasn't that sense of pride, the crime was getting crazy and people were not friendly. The only downfall of moving here is the traffic jams at certain hours of the day, but if you leave earlier or later than when everyone is getting off work its fine. It takes a little getting used to if you're from a small town in the middle of basically nowhere, but the joy you get from being here after the culture shock is amazing. I don't wanna live anywhere else but Raytown/KC.

I been thinking about moving to blue springs lately, and this video has been a big help, I'm looking forward to the hike thanks to you

I visited a friend two decades ago in Blue Springs and I loved it ! Would love to visit now and see how things have changed!

thank you because i live there

Maybe 150k

Ko❤😍🥰

This would not be how to go viral

Nice video. I grew up in kcmo and attended raytown schools. I've seen downtown Raytown decline over the years. I wish the leadership would be more visionary about how to improve it, how to attract new businesses. I've seen some new, local businesses. They have the bike trail near downtown. Lots of possibilities linked to that, Imo.

Want this house

Lee's Summit school district is garbage. And that is thanks to all the idiot democrats moving to Lee's Summit.

@Ben great video and if your a Prince FAN your friend of mine what a GREAT LEGEND He was.

I visted KC for a few days (I stayed at the Westen at Crown Center across from Union Station). I felt safe in that area. People told me the area around the KC Zoo is bad.

How can I get in contact with you, I'm planning to move for the summer ☀️

Has it changed from the growing populations? And what kind of ppl are moving in? (From a population chart it grew like crazy from like 1-2 years ago)

OP Kansas, far to white bread and full of KARENS. Far to many overprivileged and stuck up people for my taste.

Adorable! Congrats!

Remind me again why I would want you to sell my house.

Actual clips or pix of what and where you're talking about would have held my attention.

I got lucky & paid $108k, 7 years ago! 3bd/1ba, updated, 2car garage, huge fenced lot. Woo hoo!

Beautiful home. Wine cellar is 5 stars! Thanks for the tour.

😂😂😂

p̳r̳o̳m̳o̳s̳m̳

661?! Did you come from Bakersfield? We are looking to move to KC from Bakersfield hopefully in the next year!

Thank you so much for the info. I plan to move to the KCMO area hopefully before this winter and your videos have been a Godsend 😊

This is one of the cringiest things I have seen.😂

Raytown is a dump, a cesspool.

He said Kansas so much that it doesn’t sound like a real word anymore

So sad that it's not yet a buyer's market! I hope that will shift a least a little in the near future.

Thank you for your honesty. My husband and I hope to move from Joplin, MO to Raytown before winter. You do seem to get more for your money in Raytown. Thanks again 😊

Thank you for this! My family & I will be there soon doing a travel nursing assignment & may be looking at some homes. We’ll be in touch if so!

This is a great video!

Glad you're back! Thanks for the vid -- hadn't even considered Blue Springs. Love the price point.

I live in Raytown and this gentleman is right. Cheaper housing and large property. I think everyone on our block has about an acre in the backyard. A neighbor on the street has chickens, a pony and a horse. A neighbor behind us has chickens and a goat. Crime on our street is and has been, virtually nonexistent. We all look out for one another. We don't mind not having a busy bustling downtown because more businesses like that attract more crime. That's why a lot of Raytown citizens hate the Walmart on 350 hwy. It's a large part of what has attracted the increasing crime and criminal element. I haven't stepped foot in it for about 10 years. Lee's Summit Walmart isn't far away and less crime. The schools in Raytown were until fairly recently, rated very high. When KCMO schools lost accreditation, there's been A LOT of people outside of the Raytown school district that have family living in the district that allow them (illegally) to use their address to allow their kids to attend Raytown schools. That's a large reason why the schools aren't good anymore. But if you homeschool or do private schools, I would safely recommend buying in Raytown. In fact, I am going to subscribe to this channel to keep it on my radar for when we sell in a few years. I really like the honest content.

i luv ur vibe sir✌️😎

Think you for you Information

Depends on who you are and what you look like. You don't see people expressing themselves and anyone that is different is looked down upon. People in masses bring a certain energy and Kansas City people will tell you all day long that their so cool. Yep if you're a good ol boy then you'll fit right in. Kansas City is HIGHLY SEGREGATED, it's either trashy, ghetto or suburbs that think they're Beverly hills. Do NOT MOVE TO KCMO OR KS. especially if you're black. The racism is very real here and it's not hanging from a tree racism.But it's definitely an energy here that won't allow you to climb. As a black man in construction it's very draining to either see Westport full of artsy people who act the same towards you as good ol boys do, or it's good ol boys who only like you if you LOOK like you could play for the Chiefs. It's a big small town with very VERY small minds. I promise you. We all have our own tales and I highly doubt this guy has the same experience. So therefore my words won't make sense
