I came across your channel randomly. I’m from Denver, and my grandma had a house near Wash Park, and I had an ideal childhood growing up in the mountains near Evergreen. However, now that I have my own family, I wouldn’t consider the Denver area due to crowds and price. Anyway, I wonder if you’re seeing a surge of people moving to the KCK side for the gravel biking scene, in which Kansas and the Flint Hills have become world famous. One potential idea for your channel is doing a video of “top suburbs for gravel riders/cyclists” by showing proximity to safe road biking routes and distance to good places to bike. Just a thought!
Cool. Yeah, a big reason we left CO was how overpopulated it felt. The flint hills are more central Kansas than KC. The Wichita market is poppin off though so there may be some relation. Thanks for watching!
@@movingtokc indeed! I was thinking a bit more of the “weekend warrior” athlete. For example, according to Google maps, Olathe is 1 hour and 17 minutes from Emporia, often viewed as the Mecca of the gravel scene. That’s a bit of a drive, but certainly less than someone in the CO front range to the ski resorts. Anyway, awesome channel!
I lived in both. I grew up on the Missouri side (Independence/Blue Springs), attended college and grad school in MO, and now live in Johnson County. I guess it's more of a "grass is greener" sort of thing. Boy did you hit the nail on the head about the cost of living.
I remember many years ago I talked to a man who had grown up in Arvada, Colorado. One day when his family was away on a trip, his parents talked about when they'd get back to Arvada. His little sister asked, "when are we going to Grandma's Vada?"
We raised four kids in Johnson County, mostly in eastern Olathe. There is a singular reason we never lived somewhere more fun like Brookside that you don't even mention. Public Schools. I know there are also good schools in Missouri suburbs, but the bottom line is that Johnson County Kansas for the cost of living and some of the best public schools in the country with proximity of fun in KC MO has always been an excellent balance for raising a family. And NOW we are ready to move somewhere more fun!
This is a common misconception. I’m a product of Johnson County schools and have 2 students in KCPS. There are tons of great options for schools in KCMO.
@@movingtokc EXACTLY!! I know a lot of people that went to Academy Lafayette Middle School and they are all very smart and able kids. They all also speak extremely fluently in French, and have great work ethic. Also one of the best high schools in the state, Lincoln College Prep, is a Public School. As long as you send your kid to one of the Unique Schools there should be no problem. All the schools aren’t bad like Northeast.
Thank you for this video, I have to be very honest in my question. Which cities in Kansas City and Missouri is a healthy place for a dual ethnicity black family to move? Thank you!
Hi! As a realtor I’m unable to steer you to one neighborhood vs the other due to fair housing laws. However, you can research the neighborhoods on neighborhoodscout.com and they’ll give you a great idea of the demographics of each area.
@@iknowdeweybrudda6564probably true and pointless as remote work becomes more common. You don’t need as much office space now. Typical JOCO building same looking buildings all over and overdoing it
Missouri is far superior in my opinion. If sports are your thing, you will get your tickets before residents in Kansas. KCMO is definitely growing faster than KCKS.

It’s all personal preference. I don’t necessarily buy into one idea that one side is better than the other 🤷🏼♂️
Thanks for watching!
What is there in downtown KC there’s not much there ?
Hey @iknowdeweybrudda6564! Are there any particular neighborhoods or areas you’d like me to cover?
@@movingtokc hallbrook is a very nice neighborhood

We have a video coming out this week with Show Me Schools addressing some of these misconceptions.

I prefer Johnson County for living.
But I feel Kansas City has better jobs.
KCK side is more Mexican American Friendly
🔴🇲🇽🇺🇸
Thanks for your input Dante! 👍🏼
Big agree on this take. There’s abundant Spanish speaking ads, newspapers, radio stations, and people from KCK.
Is that a joke ? 50% of the metro areas office space is in Johnson county. That’s where almost all the high paying jobs are

I do feel a stronger sense of KC pride living on the MO side.
