Best and worst neighborhoods in Raytown
Anyone else feel this way? My partner and I are Rent is about $1,213/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $162,000 on average. Poverty rate is 10.3%, which is around average. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.
Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Good schools
- Diverse community
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Sprawl everywhere
- Not very walkable
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Limited cultural events
