KC is great for family. The values here are second to none. Stay away from Olathe, no matter what anyone says, Overland Park too. Unless of course you like more traffic than anywhere else in the city and chain restaurants on every corner. Look to Shawnee, fairway, anywhere north of the river except independence, or the lees summit area. KC really is a nice town, and I have lived in many (chicago, san diego, san francisco to name a few). I'm not anti Johnson county, heck, I grew up there. It has just become so blah. It is the same story everywhere in OP and Olathe now. Plow down all the trees, flatten the landscape, then build 500 similar looking houses, plant one tree in the front yard, and have everyone throw up a wooden fence. Then misplan the street grid so everyone has to go down the 5 or 6 thouroughfares (ie. 135th st) and you have the makings for major traffic all day long, 7 days a week. And besides, you have to sit in your garage or driveway to drink beer there. On a positive note, it is always 70 degrees in Olathe.
