New Nestie moving to KC soon!
Hey girls.
I'm in Columbia now, finishing up school, but my FH and I are planning on moving to the KC area in a year after we get married and I graduate.
I'm a compulsive planner, so I'm already looking at apartments, and I was wondering if I could glean any advice from you ladies about the area. ?My mom and her brother (and his fam) all live in Overland Park, but it seems a bit pricey although very nice. ?FH's brother lives in north KC, which seems like a VERY long drive from everything.
Any advice on areas to check out and areas to avoid before we move??
Re: New Nestie moving to KC soon!
Welcome! The girls on here are wonderful and will be happy to help you with anything and everything you need!
I think you'll want to know a little more about what you and DH will be working before you decide on where you want to live. KC is pretty small but if you live on one side and have to commute to the other it will get old fast.
I've lived all over KC (and I'm a Realtor so I am constantly driving all over KC) and think you can find a nice area no matter where you want to be.
Well, FH is planning on attending JCCC, so we'll probably want to stay near that. ?I'm going into advertising, but I don't know where i'll be working yet. ?I don't mind a commute, I want the cheaper tuition at JCCC for living in Johnson County! ?
But still... meh... I do feel sad to leave the MO side, since I've lived in MO my whole life and have a better understanding of Missouri state politics, etc. ?
I've heard that alot of KC suburbia is "meth centric." But I'm guessing those rumors are overwrought. ?I think every town in the midwest thinks they're the meth capital of the world, haha.
?-- and yay for Columbia residents! ?Where did you get married here, if you don't mind me asking? ?Im a J-school student here. ?Love the town, but still somewhat glad to be moving to a bigger place in a year.?
