Great city in KC metro. Close to downtown, being one of the Kansas side's first suburbs. To the south and southwest are the extremely affluent cities of Fairway and Mission Hills. To the east is Westwood, another affluent suburban city, and then further east on the Missouri side the world-renowned Country Club Plaza neighborhood of Kansas City. To the west is Mission, which is more middle class. To the north, across the county line, is the lower income Rosedale neighborhood of Kansas City, Kansas, which while not quite as bad as some parts, is definitely not the best area - but has some great nightlife and food options, in addition to the KU Medical Hospital.
We've found it to be a good mix of dense suburban living that allows us to walk almost anywhere but also have the safety to not worry about leaving cars out on the street.
The city is mostly single family housing, while there is one apartment complex - The Boulevard, and another, The Rocks, planned to be built.

We recently moved to Roeland Park and have been very impressed with the kindness. There are not many places to eat, other than fast food. It would be nice to have resteraunts. But, otherwise, we have a hardware store, grocery store and Walmart. All you need really.
Roeland Park is a cozy little town with lots of trees, well kept homes and gardens, and friendly neighbors. There is a Wal-Mart that drives down it's appeal and the city's police officers are comically unfriendly. Also, I would like to be able to have a firepit.
