Crime from KC -
7/15/2008Based on what I have read, the crime from Kansas City does not spill over into the Overland Park/Olathe area. Is that correct? Do residents fear that happening. 10-15 miles is not that far away. I realize most crime happen at bad times in bad places but stuff can always spread.
Thanks for your input

How are the schools? -
6/29/2008Is the schools system in Greenville any good. I hear good and not so good things about it. Any parents, teachers, or recent grads out there? We are looking to relocate from Florida (Ocala, Marion County). High school kids here do not even get homework. Maybe things have just change fro when I was in school...I am only 30. I just want to live somewhere that is safe and I do not have to pay thousand for private school.
Thanks

Flooding -
3/19/2008I have seen tons of flooding in Missouri recently as I guess we all have. Is Kansas/Overland Park prone to seasonal flooding? Also, there are quite a few posts on this site theat give me the impression I will have to battle for my son not to be around and influenced by a bunch of snotty kids parented by a bunch of shallow adults. I just want a nice safe place with good schools to raise my kid(s) but if I have to constantly deal with "Timmy has xyz" then I am not so sure. I want him to aspire to be well off but not a jerk about it.
Does anybody have examlpe of just how expensive it is in OP or just how yuppish people are?
Sorry to be longs winded but coming from so far (Ocala, FL) to check things out. I would hate to have my hope crushed.
Thanks

Taxes and weather -
2/25/2008We are thinking of relocating from Florida. We are looking for a great place to raise our family. We also have lived here our entire 30years and would like not to have 85 degree Christmas Days. I would like to know about property and any other significant taxes and driving in the winter. I know the driving will be an adjustment.

winter and taxes -
2/19/2008Hey Everyone,
I am thinking of relocating to Overland Park. I wanted to know, how are the property taxes? Sales taxes, etc? Also, how are the driving conditions during the winter. We will be moving from North Florida, so I know it will be an adjustment. How big and how long of an adjustment period will there be is the million dollar question.
Thanks

WINTER -
2/11/2008We are thinking fo relocating from northern Florida to the Midwest. Kansas is on our list. We have one child (so far) and the school system is horrible here. We have read some good things about the school around the Overland Park area. However, we would like to know just what the winters are like and how the driving condidtions are? We know it will be a huge adjustment but we are willing to try something different. We lived in Miami for the first 27 years and the last three here in Ocala. We jsut want away from 83 degree Christmas Days.
thanks

weather and driving -
1/1/2008Hey everyvody, my wife and I are thinking of relocating to the Indianapolis area. Our main concern is winter driving conditions and weather (i.e. snow fall). We have heard the term "black ice" use for some northern states, does Indiana qualify? Also I have seen an average snowfall of about 25 inches. How often are there blizzrd conditions? We have lived in Florida our entire lives (30yrs) and are looking for a change and a better place to raise our family. We would love to see the color change in the fall and maybe get a white Chirstmas.
thanks
