I currently live in De Soto and have been here for four years. I am retired and drive a school bus. I’m very familiar with the school district, students, faculty, administrators etc; compared with all the other school districts in the Kansas City Metropolitan area….and find that living in this KC suburb serves me well as both rural and metropolitan combined. The schools here excel, the people are friendly, crime is virtually nonexistent and the cost of living is perfect. I am extremely comfortable living here in De Soto.
De Soto is a great place with a small town feel. It is were you will live an easy lifestyle due to easy access to mail, groceries, and education without having to go very far. Missing one star because there are not a lot of food options if you like to dine out.
Great place to raise a family and grow up! Small town values yet close to Kansas City and Lawrence. All access is by highway so either city is accessible in about 10 minutes. De soto does not have much for entertainment so I would change that. But the community is friendly and helpful and everyone knows most everyone else.
