Yeah, Liberty is nice. It is quite a drive to Overland Park or Leawood though.

**** that. Minneapolis rules. Great arts scene, the best independent hip-hop/rap scene in the world, vibrant food scene, really nice museums, stupendous beer scene. I could live happily in the Twin Cities.

Lee's Summit has some of the best school districts in America.

I'm not arguing it, because I wouldn't know, but that's still hilarious.

I dunno...I live in Cleveland, I didn't even KNOW there was a Cleveland, MO until I was looking for some land in Cass County...taxes are great, easy to get to 69 highway in KS and 71 in MO...land still selling at a good rate and crime very low (at least away from Belton/Raymore...

Rhymesayers Entertainment and Doomtree Recordings are two of the very best rap labels on Earth, and they're both housed in Minneapolis. The Twin Cities are home to a whopping 4 of my 10 favorite rappers. I mean, look at these rappers that live in Minneapolis/St. Paul: Slug (from Atmosphere), Brother Ali, P.O.S., Dessa, Mike Mictlan, Sims, Cecil Otter, Toki Wright, Eydea, not to mention producers such as Ant (from Atmosphere), Lazerbeak, Paper Tiger, Turbo Nemesis, Abilities, et al. No other city boasts that much quality.

Lee's Summit schools were voted the 6th best school district in america accoding to Business Week. Alot of the Chiefs players are living out this way. Typical surburban city. Applebee's, little league baseball, old school downtown.

It really depends on what you are looking for. There are some great places in Missouri, and you can typically find housing cheaper on the MO side than the KS side, at least in the direct KC area. If you are interested in being on the outskirts, I would look at places like Pleasant Hill, Grain Valley, Oak Grove, Platte City. You can get some good land or housing for very good value in these places.

If you have time and want to come into KC for a weekend, shoot me a PM and I'll show you some different housing options. I'm in real estate, and depending on what you're looking for, I could come up with a nice list of options for you.

EDIT: Missed the part where you said the business would be in OP or Leawood. If you want to be a little closer than the places I mentioned, then you could look at Lee's Summit, or even something like Waldo/Brookside area. I really like the Waldo/Brookside area for being close to the city/downton, but still with a suburb feel.

Thanks. When we start looking this summer, I will contact you.

One of the main reasons I want to move back to KC. I've been up here for 12 years and am sick of the 6-7 months of cold and snow.

Sounds good. If you give me a little heads up before you look too heavily, I can get you set up on a program online that will let you search the different areas with whatever your needs are (# bedrooms, # bathrooms, price, etc.). It is a great program and then you can get an idea of what you're looking at before you even get here.

Also, if you end up deciding on MN, let me know and I can refer you to an agent there to help you out.
