Answer 1 :
Overland Park, Kansas, is on the top ten list of cities to live in America. The tax seems high there. The property is clean, and some is quite new. I like Olathe, Kansas. The school system is very good, and the people are nice. Both Olathe, and Overland Park are calm cities, with night life. Lawrence, Kansas is not only a college town, but it is colorful, and youthful. It is a different pace than Olathe, but is clean. It is next to the river. There are alot of night life there,and the cost of living is cheaper, than in
Answer 2 :
Overland Park without a doubt is the gold standard in the KC metro area and all of Kansas.
Answer 3 :
Overland Park is great. It's a suburb of Kansas City. Plus, if you have or are planning to have children, the Kansas City area is a great place to be. Lawrence is great, too, but it's more of an "art scene" for college students and young adults.
Answer 4 :
PLUS SIDE: Overland Park is your best bet for a job. Huge job market but not at its peak right now. Depending on you're looking for, that's gonna be hard to tell you. Good for families.Schools are good. People are... Okay. DOWN SIDE: Now, I will be brutally honest with you. Kansas in general is boring for the single young adult. Emphasize single here. Nightlife is sparse in the JoCo area (plenty of bars!) but hit up the downtown area (P&L District: In MO) you will have plenty of action (25 minutes from OP). Good luck!
Answer 5 :
Lawrence, hands down. It is great in and of itself, and is less than an hour's drive from Kansas City when you want something bigger.
Answer 6 :
Try to stick to the Overland Park area. Also, check out Lenexa KS it's a little older but very nice and close to everything.
Answer 7 :
If you want to live in the city live in Overland Park. It's an established suburb of Kansas City Missouri, on the Kansas Side of the metro. It's a short drive away from the Nightlife scene of Downtown Kansas City (westport, power and light district, the plaza), it has great shopping, and if it's not in Overland Park, it's only like a ten minute drive into Kansas City, or it's other suburbs where there bound to have it. If you want to live completely in Kansas, try Wichita. It's also a city feel, but it's completely in Kansas. Lawerence, has an okay nightlife scene (bars), and it has more of a community feel. It's only an hours drive away to Kansas City in case you cant find it in Lawerence. It's a nice little collage town.
Answer 8 :
Leawood Kansas It's extremely safe-almost no crime. Beautiful Houses, great jobs, and great shopping/dining. Also has great schools, both private and public.
