Buying a house ****ing sucks.

Yeah, that’s just too far out. We are renting in Lenexa currently and it’s too far out as it is. We want to be reasonably close to the city but still be in the burbs. Ideally we’d be closer to the city, but then affordability vs needs/wants becomes an issue. Plus, I work in OP and my wife works in south KC, so PV/Leawood keeps the commutes reasonable.

I think the only community on the MO side that really fits what we are looking for would be Parkville. I grew up north of the river and my folks still live up there. Unfortunately, there goes the nice commute.
