@@movingtokc I'll be moving there for an internship towards the end of summer for a college internship! After the internship, if we're closer to getting a house, we will give you a call!
Kyle…Let me tell you something…STOP! Stop letting the secrets out of KC! We don’t want to become the next Portland, Austin, Asheville NC, etc…Gotta keep KC on the DL😎
What are your thoughts about Shawnee. It's huge, but they are doing a lot of work to support local businesses in their downtown district and create family friendly options without being Leawood.
Kansas City's growth is on a fast lap - Kansas City Mo water rates DOUBLED may1st $5.68 to $11.50 per cu measurement. City owned ,water dept lady said oh yes every May 1st they go up! MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
Thankfully, the presenter left out the real gems of the Kansas City metro area: neighborhoods where extraordinary houses sell by word of mouth without the involvement of real estate agents.
@@bens5859 Tell me why you think my comment was rude. I've lived in multiple communities in the Kansas City metro for over 50 years as an adult. Some of the areas that the presenter of this video proposed would be considered by people who have lived here a long time as the equivalent of being sent to Siberia since they are far from what most people prefer to be near. Unfortunately, people moving to a strange (to them) city often don't have any idea of the best places to live and they are not going to find out from a real estate agent. It really is all about location, location, location. I live in one of the areas where houses almost always sell privately. When I worked in the field on the 2010 U.S. Census after I retired, I found that there were a number of other phenomenal areas here with similar attributes. Some have private streets. Some, like my neighborhood, weren't on mapping services (e.g. Google Maps, Mapquest) prior to the 2010 Census. I've seen sooo many people move to new cities only to find out fairly soon that they had bought houses "on the wrong side of the tracks" which is why so many people who move to new cities move again after only a few years.
@@bens5859 Rude? Why? I'm stating facts. Real estate agents represent sellers - not buyers - which is a key fact that many buyers do not fully appreciate. Real estate agents do not show buyers properties that don't generate commission income. Since many of the best local properties are sold without real estate agent involvement, out-of-town buyers are unlikely to find out about them unless they have friends/relatives who already reside here and only if those people are very familiar with the local real estate market.
I am a local of twenty years, and most of these older neighborhoods are a hope, skip, and jump away from the hood. The gang violence is real and you can say goodbye to your hubcaps.
@movingtokc No, but those you know for a fact aren't but any of those downtown neighborhoods, yes, which you are not arguing about? Oh, though I have seen drug bust happen in OP and Kansas City is also one of the largest human trafficking hubs in the country.
@@movingtokc I should hope so. In the past, some friends of mine have had trouble there when they were renovating a house. I'm glad to hear that it sounds like it's changed.
