My partner and I are deciding between Kendall and Overland Park for our next move. We care most about:
- Cost of living
- Safety
- Job market (education)
- Outdoor activities
Anyone who's lived in either or both — which would you choose and why?

Rent tip: look for places in winter. Prices drop and there's more availability.

As someone who moved here from Miami, I can confirm most of this. The weather surprised me the most.

For families, I'd recommend looking at University District. Schools are rated well and it's quiet.

Respectfully disagree about the job market. In my experience, it's been pretty safe in my area.

Check out the Highland Park area. Way more affordable and still close to everything.

I've lived in Downtown for 10 years and it's a hidden gem honestly.
