Nice town
Not sure what happened to the reviewer from 2011, but have to disagree. Grandview is a racially diverse community for sure, maybe being in the minority felt too real for the reviewer, who knows. At any rate, GV has a small town feel, a usable updated downtown (great model train store if you're into it), plus the convenience of being located close to access to all parts of the city.
It kind of sounds like the person fell prey to some myth about the midwest. Born here, lived a lot of different places in this country in the last 40 years, back home now for retirement. Geographical diversity is largely a myth. I like this community. It has a lot to offer. If a person has a problem with diversity they need only spend about twice as much for housing and move across to Johnson County. They would probably feel right at home there but for the fact that they will now also be scrutinized for economic class. If that turns their crank, so be it.
