Is Lee's Summit getting better or worse?
So, Crime rate is something to consider -Lee's Summit sits at 115.7 per 100K. The median home value here is around $313,200, which seems about average. Poverty rate is 3.2%, which is pretty low. The unemployment rate is 2.7%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 54--F, so expect cold winters. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The weather takes some getting used to. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Diverse community
- Lots of new development
- Active local events
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Rising rent prices
- Lack of diversity
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Poor road conditions
The food scene here is surprisingly good. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The city has invested a lot in new development. The suburbs are where most families end up. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
