Review of Overland Park, Kansas


Welcome to Suburbia
Star Rating - 3/5/2007
Overland Park is a very nice well-kept, financially adept, well-educated community...unfortunately everyone here knows it and flaunts it. It is a very vain place w/salons, spas, and Lexus dealerships on every corner, and the attitude to go with it; not what you'd expect from a stereotypical Kansas town. There are thousands of large beautiful cookie-cutter homes here. The schools are excellent, but with the declining of family values, you end up raising everyone else's kid. I'm content here for now, but I am looking forward to moving to "Mayberry, KS", wherever that is. I think my family and I would fit in a little better there. Also, if you are moving here and looking for a job, make sure you have at least a 4-year degree; otherwise, good luck.
