I'll be leaving Syracuse, KS just before Thanksgiving and moving to Kansas City for a new position within the company. I'd prefer to live south or southwest of KC in the country, but realize that finding a place in the country on short notice is pretty difficult. I'll be working in the Corporate woods of Overland Park so if I do live in the city, I'd like to be within 15-20 minutes.
I'm somewhat familiar with KC as I lived in Adrian, MO two years ago for a few months for work. The point of this thread is to feel out good areas/bad areas of the city to live. No desire to live in an apartment and I am engaged so wherever I live, I want it to be as "safe" of an area as possible. Any suggestions on neighborhoods / parts of town to look into or avoid are greatly appreciated. If anyone has any leads on rentals in the country outside of KC, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'll be cross posting this in the KS HT forum. |

You won't have to much to worry about if your going to live anywhere near corporate woods. Most of that area is very nice. I lived the first 15 years of my life in the Lenexa/Shawnee/Overland Park area. Still have family in Olathe and OP.
Just avoid the inner city areas and you will be fine

I'm not sure I'd ever voluntarily live inside the 435 loop.
If you want to live on the MO side, look at Cass County. That commute is a mess, but you're not getting around that if you live on this side of State Line. If you want to live on the KS side, look for a neighborhood you can afford. |
