Things Shawnee needs to improve
I'm a teacher here and With a population of 31,511, Shawnee is a smaller city. Median household income is $54,281, which feels on the lower side for the area. Crime rate is something to consider -Shawnee sits at 493.3 per 100K. You can expect to pay around $912 for rent here. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The weather takes some getting used to. The suburbs are where most families end up.
Pros:
- Nice parks and trails
- Close to nature
- Lots of new development
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Rising rent prices
- Not very walkable
- Lack of diversity
- Poor road conditions

Property taxes are high but you get good services. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The suburbs are where most families end up. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The city has invested a lot in new development.
