We love Raytown

I live on the edge of Raytown, our granddaughter attends a Raytown School. We love the town, we love the schools. We have run our business from here for many years.
Raytown was once poorly thought of, the city has come together and mandated codes enforcement that has been a huge improvement. Housing is plentiful and affordable, and the location is incredibly convenient. Commercial development is planned and should bring more jobs and more attractions.
The location provides easy access to all major highways and interstates in the KC area. You can get from Raytown to nearly anyplace in the metro area in 20 minutes. Raytown provides a bus to connect to the Metro bus line. There is ample shopping, entertainment and places to eat.
Job growth has been steady, properties are mostly well maintained, Schools are great, Police are efficient and professional and taxes are relatively reasonable. The cost of living has been consistently very affordable.
Raytown has a rich history; located at the convergence of several important Old West trails. Raytown was named for the blacksmith who had his shop here.
