Anyone else love living in Lee's Summit?

Not sure if this has been asked before, but I relocated for work and Homes are going for about $313,200 on average. The median home value here is around $313,200, which seems about average. The weather takes some getting used to. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a accountant who relocated here from Denver about 7 years ago. The main reasons were work and family.

Pros I've experienced:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Lots of new development happening
- Good airport with direct flights

Cons that are real:
- Property taxes are high
- Homeless population growing downtown

Financially, we've found it underrated compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are reasonable, gas is pretty good.

Socially, it's been a really good experience overall. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
