Living Places in Kansas - 10 Best Places to Live in Kansas

[@dennismichael2695]

I love it when they show Missouri pictures of Kansas City

[@deborahross9974]

Lenexa is my brother's and mine home town. We were just little kids at the time. I went to kindergarten through second grade. We lived on Pflumm Street which is now near 95 th Street. Next my family and I moved to Overland Park, on Switzer then. I went to second and fourth grades. After a couple of years we moved to Prairie Village, on Linden Street just a block from Roe Ave. That was from 1972-1990. Now my brother and I live about 50 miles South of Kansas City Mo in the little village of LaCygne Ks in Linn County. I sure do miss living in Prairie Village but being seniors we can't afford to move back. Thank you for the video and the memories it brought back. God bless.

After 69 years and growing up on a Kansas farm, and living on both coast any place in Kansas is a good place to live.

So, this video only covers places in the Kansas city area.... Should've done the whole state. There is also Wichita, Derby, Park City, Salina, Topeka, Andover, Dodge City, Garden City, Hays, Great Bend, Hutchinson, McPherson, Emporia, Junction City, Ottawa, Liberal, Pittsburg, Independence, Coffeyville El Dorado, Augusta, Newton, Goddard, Maize, Haysville and Kingman. There's much more good places around the state that I'm sure I missed, but you get the point. You only listed good places to live in the North Eastern part of Kansas.

[@businessdevil7094]

Could you recommend Moundridge as well?

[@ctkelley27]

Yes exactly

[@desertfamilyhomestead3127]

You need to retitle your video to the 10 best places to live near Kansas City.

[@nomadbrad6391]

So I guess unless you live in the Northeast METROplex around KC the rest of the state sucks??

[@nailpounder1430]

Besides the mistakes already pointed out, you can add that there are no apartments at all in Fairway, Westwood or Mission Hills as stated. Not one.

[@jillbryant2802]

The first few shots in the video are of Wichita. Lived there all my life. A good place to live and have a family. Getting ready to move to southeast Kansas out of the city. Your video showed only Kansas City metro and college towns. I would never live in Johnson County or Lawrence. There’s a lot more to Kansas.

[@KS5040]

Kansas= Low Income Southern State without Johnson County.

Salton Sea CA is still a good deal

[@tonypucket3290]

Just a couple of things to point out factually. The beginning of the video you show Kansas City, Missouri. Next up is Lenexa, which you state is south of Overland Park. It actually borders a portion of Overland Park to the west. I thought it was funny that you showed an overhead view of a golf course in Mission Hills , complete with palm 🌴 trees off the fairways. ( for those who don't know better, we don't have palm trees in Kansas). Interesting to find out that 8 of the 10 listed, are in the Kansas City metro area. I personally would have found the video more intriguing or interesting, if you just lumped all of them together as Johnson County, Kansas, since that is where all of them are located and added some towns or cities in other parts of the state.

[@TheRagingPlatypus]

Agreed, just a bunch of KC suburbs...implies the rest of the state sucks. They were all also upscale areas.

[@midkansasrailfan8995]

The beginning was actually Wichita

I grew up in sterling KS. It sucks my rich family won't even give me a job

[@tubadaddy76]

From what I've seen recently, Sterling, KS is a great city to live. Working can be a challenge there depending upon your skills, but quality of life is one of the best I've known since checking out other cities.

[@USHistorians]

Totally agree!

[@KS5040]

LOL Sterling is in the middle of nowhere, and offers next to nothing other than horrible weather most of the year, high taxes, unfriendly people, and no public lands anywhere.

[@dragonmeddler2152]

Great video and I agree Kansas has many great places to live. Couple of things in the first few seconds got my attention. First, I-35 runs thru the state from Wichita to Kansas City. I-135 is a spur that extends from Emporia to I-70 atTopeka along the Kansas Turnpike. The beautiful aerial view of the War Memorial with Kansas City skyline in the background is in Missouri.

[@warrenr.johnson7990]

Lawrence: Why did you not mention that it is the home to the University of Kansas? A major oversight.

[@518jimg]

There are other places to live in Kansas other than Kansas City. Why are you showing us pictures of Kansas City Missouri

[@blueroanspecial]

First of all, Kansas is the Great Plains, not the Midwest. You could saved alot of time and just said the suburbs of Kansas city.

[@williamclinard2438]

You are incorrect. Although it is part of the Great Plains, Kansas is also one of the states that comprises the Midwest. I am a resident of the state of Kansas.

[@nomadbrad6391]

@@williamclinard2438 Technically in AP Geography courses, the midwest STOPS at the Missouri River.

[@KS5040]

@@williamclinard2438 No, most of Kansas is part of the Great Plains/western US- and is not remotely similar to where most of the population lives in the Midwest- which is east of the Mississippi River. The center of population in the Midwest is north-central Illinois.

If you are going to talk about Kansas why at the beginning of the video you are showing Kansas City MISSOURI The liberty memorial etc get your states straight please and thank you

[@datchiman0952]

I’m trying to move as close to Overland Park as possible

[@plcwboy]

Kansas isn't connected to anywhere via "route 135" I-135 starts and ends in Kansas and never leaves the state

[@businessdevil7094]

What about Moundridge KS?

[@avernvrey7422]

Almost all of those are just suburbs of the greater KC metro area. Laurence even, kind of, fits that mold. Could have just lumped them all together as one entry. Manhattan was the only one away from KC. So basically, 95% of Kansas is terrible. The 5% around the KC metro is ok...

[@nomadbrad6391]

So I guess unless you live in the Northeast METROplex around KC the rest of the state sucks??

Yes, I know it's not Kansas, but 8 blocks away. How is Waldo to live in? I am tired of living in a coastal town where foreigners drove the prices to $4000000 for nothing. Plus the foreigner propaganda. BTW, I went to school in WI, colder there but midwest values.

[@FableMythLore]

Overland Park are you kidding me, dont you think you might be cherry picking abit? Sure some of the suburbs are safe, but most of Overland Park.... is well how do i say this, deadly at night. Big pass.

[@LG4L3443]

Overland Park has one of the lowest crime rates of a city it’s size in America. Even Olathe has a 4x worse assault rate than op. Considering KC is one of the most violent cities in America OP is a desirable place to live.

[@FableMythLore]

@@LG4L3443 Southern Overland Park your right, north half, well... To use a dated reference: You might find someone you love on a milk carton. No thanks, I will pass on Overland park. Havent been to Olathe since I was a kid during that time I really didnt notice anything (for better or for worse), looking back on the memories it was rather run down. Olathe was the kinda place where just mind your own business and your okay. But to hype up ALL of Overland Park when more than half of it is riddled with crime. Really?

[@gaileastwood6540]

I live south of Olathe and I don’t hear about a lot of crime in Overland Park, what horrible crimes are you talking about?

Overland Park is as safe as the dollar underneath your car seat

[@jimmyfinfrock202]

Best places in Kansas. Lmao. Johnson county no thanks. You covered one county and two college towns. There is a lot more in the state.

[@KS5040]

Johnson County does equal most of Kansas in terms of where the vast majority of the economic growth and population growth takes place. Kansas= Poor Southern State Without Johnson County

[@kathysharpe7339]

You need to fact check. You had to seriously search for these highlights. The people are very nice. But this state is dying, period. The college towns are just that, college towns.

[@MissBabalu102]

Maybe true, but all States and countries feel like they are dying right now. They ALL think it's only them. That's the globalist plan.

[@KS5040]

@@MissBabalu102 LOL, no one ever moves to Kansas other than parts of Johnson County and a few other areas. Kansas offers a very poor quality of life with horrible weather most of the year and high taxes. Kansas has such a low quality of life that they can't even attract remote workers for the most part or give away houses for next to nothing in rural areas. That's because people desire more than a windblown desolate place to reside in. I left Kansas in 2008 and it was a very good decision. Kansas remains in the top 10 for the most moved from state just about every year.

[@MissBabalu102]

@@KS5040 Yes, I really wished someone had warned me back when I returned from teaching overseas. (they talked me out of cold Milwaukee suburbs.) I had been to Kansas City at 18 years old in the summer, and I saw something pretty. But I had one of my life's absolute worst experiences staying near Overland Park for 5 months while I sorted out my task of replacing bank cards and driver's license, tech. Rundown with some really mean people. Slobs too. Sorry to say. I thought I could buy something with my full house down payment, that goes nowhere in California. I have no good answers anymore.

[@KS5040]

@@MissBabalu102 Hey, I've also lived in Wisconsin, it might be colder in the winter than Kansas but at least the summer weather is far better along with fall weather. Taxes are higher in Wisconsin, but things are run way better than in Kansas. I like some of the smaller cities like Eau Claire or Appleton. Scenery is also 100X better than Kansas with Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, and the Northwoods with all the lakes.
