My experience growing up in the Johnson County area has left a pretty positive impact on what I could accomplish and become inspired by. Whether it was community service, compromising, and many other ways people in the community can be helped out. It's overall a mostly liberal place, yet some people are still pretty conservative. The public schools here are also really great at getting everyone involved in wanting what's best for each person living here. A lot of the school teachers here are amazing at there and it's easy to tell they loving being teachers and deserve higher paychecks. Everyone is mostly pretty polite to each other without creating tension or getting into arguments or fights. It's also extremely safe here considering in this part of Kansas, public safety is taken very seriously. There is also a huge diversity of ethnic backgrounds from all over the world and considering it's one the most affordable parts of the country to live in makes it a bonus for real estate.
Excellent place for people to settle down. Cheap living, excellent streets and safety, and great job prospects!
I have lived here for 50 years and seen tremendous growth- all positive. I have lived in both Leawood and Overland Park. Johnson County is the most eastern county in Kansas and a suburb of Kansas City, Mo which is just across the state line. You get the best of both worlds- green spaces and family activities of Johnson County and Cultural events of Kansas City. The schools in Johnson County are in the top 20 in the nation. Lots of restaurants and shopping.
