Living in Overland Park — the reality

I grew up here but left for a while. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much.

I've lived in Riverside for about 4 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from San Diego, I was surprised by safety. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good schools in most areas
- The public transit scene is pretty good

The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Chain restaurants dominate

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for singles. Good luck with whatever you decide..
