Pros and Cons of Living in Overland Park Kansas, 2024!

[@dave3657]

Agree with you on these points. 👍🏻 Lived there over thirty years, recently moved, but might move back some day. Definitely need a car to zip around town, plenty of places to eat and shop. I always felt safe and rarely if ever locked my car doors. Taxes are high, but not as much as I pay now in Illinois.

My brother-in-law moved there from N.Y.C. when he married his Kansas wife. He is very happy there. We visited him; it was ok. It's just another suburban place. As far as raising kids there, okay but I could never take my kids away from Central Park, The Met, Broadway, diversity, and amazing restaurants.

Oh, for sure! It’s not for everyone. Personally, I live in the city for many of the reasons you listed.

I am also originally from NYC. I have moved to the Kansas City area in 1998 and have been here since. I've lived in overland Park since 2007 and I like it here.

I appreciate your feedback! 💯

Actually Johnson County has a larger economy than Jackson County now. Also Johnson County has a lower percentage of detached single family housing and more jobs than Jackson county.

Hey @iknowdeweybrudda6564! What would you say is your favorite part of living here? 😄

[@iknowdeweybrudda6564]

@@movingtokc the clean streets and low crime and good infrastructure and the hiking and biking trails. Weather sucks tho

[@tedjones8670]

Pros it's new and has everything very clean, cons it's to expensive to live there and it swarming with cops

[@movingtokc]

Awesome @tedjones8670! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.🙌💯

[@dave3657]

Police cars driving past my house was not a bad thing. 👮🏻‍♂️

[@Ronniejamesleo]

Pros there would be living anywhere not near my aunt pat.

[@iknowdeweybrudda6564]

More density than KCMO, lower percentage of single family housing than KCMO and higher job density than KCMO. But still a suburb lol

[@movingtokc]

I appreciate your feedback @iknowdeweybrudda6564! Is there anything you'd like to see more of in future real estate videos?🤯
