[@henrylauncelyn7338]

Fantastic video!

[@rosbegitano16]

Never been in Kansas city Missouri but seems good to me I have to go there and take a look.

[@kathysharpe7339]

Don't go.

[@iknowdeweybrudda6564]

Yeah I would avoid the Missouri side all the businesses have left to Johnson county Kansas

[@owengan9821]

Most importantly, you forgot to mention is BBQ. Arthur Bryant, the best US BBQ in USA, goes back more than 50 years!

[@RachtheRealtorKC]

AB isn't my personal favorite!! I know, I know!!

[@OneManParade]

Live in Overland Park, or Lenexa. Only visit KC,MO.

[@ericfriendzoned1303]

Pretty much unless you feel like getting popped on prospect or troost

[@iknowdeweybrudda6564]

Yeah Johnson county is the most decent place

[@kennyhaselhorst7332]

Olathe is also a great place to live.

I am planning on moving to Kansas City for work. What are the best parts of the city to rent an apartment and which areas should I avoid ?

[@RachtheRealtorKC]

Send me an email at [e-mail]. I have a couple of resources I can send you!

[@iknowdeweybrudda6564]

Avoid Missouri it’s ghetto

[@jhandle4196]

I was born, and grew up in Kansas City, and have lived in all sorts of neighborhoods on both sides of the state line. My old neighborhood is one that was considered a rough part of town 50 years ago, and it's probably worse now, the Independence Avenue corridor just east of downtown KC,MO. I still know people who live in that part of town, but if you don't know the area, avoiding undesirable neighborhood activity is a crap=shoot. That could be true of much of the area between Troost Avenue east to the Blue River. Some areas are quiet, and nice; others are a hornets nest where even a city boy like me avoids even during the day. One rule of thumb; If the businesses in the vicinity all have bars on, or have the windows and doors boarded up, look elsewhere. Many areas that have been sketchy in the past are being renovated, or gentrified as people rediscover the terrain that drew residents here in the first place. There are also some historic neighborhoods, for instance, Hyde Park for one mentioned in the video that have some beautiful residences. South of Brookside transitions to the "Waldo" area that boasts a very pedestrian neighborhood of mostly single-farmily homes and some apartments with shops, and restaurants in walking distance, et al. On the other hand, certain suburban areas that are beginning to show their age have had an increase in crime. Certain parts of what's known as Ruskin Heights has had a number of unfortunate occurrences to put it mildly. Here's one tip. In the Midwest there's a convenience store chain called "Quik Trip". If there's a Quik Trip store in the vicinity, that's a positive sign it's a relatively safe neighborhood because if they can't follow their wide-open business model due to security issues, they will sell the store and move out. Hope that helps.

Which state of Kansas City . Missouri or Kansas

[@gracekohan3111]

Where would you place Independence? What's your opinion? Thx.

[@RachtheRealtorKC]

Hi! There's a really wide range of home prices in Independence. Everything from affordable starter homes to luxury larger homes. It just depends on what's important to you!

[@rodshelley1170]

Look on the east or north sides of Independence. West / south not so good.

Kansas city seem good to move from Russia. What do u think, will locals be against Russian even if i condemned last 10 years Russian policy?

[@Diamondusa7]

Yeah they like Russians here, don't come.

[@VelvetyMoon]

We want to move to KCMO area but outside of city limits within 30-45 mins of a larger city where my husband will be finding work. We want to keep it affordable and not looking for new construction but more already established areas and homes. Can you suggest a few towns to look into?

[@RachtheRealtorKC]

So many great options!! Blue Springs, Liberty, Lenexa, Belton just to throw one out from each side of the Metro. Shoot me an email, I'd be happy to help!

[@michaelgood4939]

Pleasant hill, MO.

[@KristiBranstetter]

I live in Blue Springs, MO. I have lived here just about 12 years. I lived in Raytown, MO, for most of my life. I went to KU even tho I am a lifelong Missourian. Missouri side is better, IMO. Johnson County is too congested.

[@c7eye]

I lived in Raytown. I really liked it !! I’m in Phoenix Arizona now and thinking of moving to Kansas City Missouri. 😁

[@iknowdeweybrudda6564]

Missouri side is poor and has a terrible economy and bad schools

Hi Rachel, I’m so glad that I saw your video. I moved from Chicago to Overland Park 8 months ago and currently living in a complex with all the amenities.

I was born in KCMO but grew up in KCK. More activities on the Missouri side but I preferred living in Wyandotte/Overland Park counties on the Kansas side. My favorite residential area in KCMO is Ward Parkway between 63rd and 95th.

​@I know de Wey brudda bruh your all about JoCo in this comment section. The only people who enjoy JoCo are entitled whites and Yuppies from out of state. JoCo is the problem with KC not the solution. It is pretty much just the new "white flight" area, just a new Lee's Summit.

[@iknowdeweybrudda6564]

Kcmo downtown isn’t bustling. It’s slow and empty from all the urban decay. There’s not many jobs there. It’s still pretty tho stop misleading people

[@watitduful]

I recall visiting my great gran back in 99 and noticed this about KC downtown. It looked boring. At that time me and my family were passing through while moving to the Bay Area from D.C. so you can how my perspective would be as such. I’m sure KC has its perks (definitely want to do a foodie trio there for the bbq) but don’t see myself living there.

[@watitduful]

*trip

[@jorshaw86]

There is no truly urban life in KC. Probably some of the worst city planning I've seen. "Downtown" is basically a parking lot and the "urban" area's plaza, crossroads, brookside general lacks some important aspect of urban life.

[@watitduful]

I noticed that too

[@iknowdeweybrudda6564]

Yeah Johnson county Kansas is more urban lol
