Kansas City NORTH -
1/29/2007As a thirty-year resident of Kansas City, and a six-year resident of the northland, I think it is VERY important that outsiders understand that Kansas City North is very much distinct from the city of Kansas City in general. I do not recommend the city of Kansas City, MO to live in -- crime is rampant and the schools are horrible (The schools lost their accreditation over EIGHT years ago and have yet to regain it.)
However, Kansas City North (north of the Missouri River) is a world apart. A WONDERFUL place to raise a family! Fantastic schools, beautiful and affordable neighborhoods, quick drive to airport, incredible shopping (businesses can't seem to move in fast enough!) The growth is phenominal, both in residential and business aspects. It could use a little more diversity, but that takes time. If your thinking of the Kansas City area, stay in the northland!
