I'm retired and Crime rate is something to consider — Overland Park sits at 178.6 per 100K. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Am I overthinking this? The city has invested a lot in new development. The weather takes some getting used to. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The suburbs are where most families end up. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.
