Day-to-day life in Independence, MO
OK so I work in insurance and Homes are going for about $166,400 on average. Rent is about $1,061/month for a decent place. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Would love some local perspective. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The weather takes some getting used to. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The suburbs are where most families end up. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
