Overland Park, KS
Housing can be affordable -
10/25/2013Overland Park, KS is a burdgeoning suburb just south and west of Kansas City, MO. Housing is affordable, depending on where you live and your buying power. First location: Lots of value based property exists in OP north of the I 435 loop that encircles the Greater Kansas City area. by value based I mean existing homes that are turning over to young families and people looking to buy their first home. You can get into a nice but modest 3 BR 2 bath home around 200K. There are plenty of "McMansion" neighborhoods in the sprawling suburb, especially south of I435. But if you're looking for "good value" and don't need to impress your relatives, like the idea of less congestion, good to great schools, shorter commute times and great parks, North-Central Overland Park can be great value.
