So, Born and raised here. Median household income is $67,227, which feels about average for the area. Crime rate is something to consider -Raytown sits at 691.3 per 100K. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The city has invested a lot in new development.

The food scene here is surprisingly good. Tons of great farm-to-table places. I love the pace of life here.

I'm a HR manager and I've found there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The community is decent and there's always something going on.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I'm still on the fence after all this time. Feel free to reach out with questions..

Weather-wise, the summers are hit or miss and winters are growing. You get used to it after the first year.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 1-bedroom. it's improved dramatically in recent years. Compared to Miami it's solid.
