Raymore

• Suburb of Kansas City, MO
• Rating 3.79 out of 5  47 reviews

Current Resident: I enjoy how close Raymore is to being able to go to anything you may want to do. There are so many new buildings and shops, places to go hiking close by, and it is a nice area to raise children and animals. I love being able to feel safe in my community. There are so many new jobs opening up with all of the newness being added to the neighborhood and all of them well paid. I like where I live and raising my son in a place that has so much to do. It really can be a magical place, where you are literally ten to fifteen minutes away from almost anything you may want to do. It is amazing!

Peculiar

• Suburb of Kansas City, MO
• Rating 3.9 out of 5  21 reviews

Current Resident: I have lived in Peculiar Mo my entire life. I genuinely love it.
It is a small town, however it seems to be growing at a rapid pace. Not many small business' have ever been able to thrive here because it is mostly working class people, however we do have Casey's, Subway, Apple market, and an amazing chinese restaurant.
Peculiar is a place where people still wave to each other when they drive by them. It's refreshing to know that there is still safe places to raise your children.

Pleasant Hill

• Town in Missouri
• Rating 3.68 out of 5  37 reviews

Current Resident: I moved here from a very small town, Population 1,000. Pleasant Hill's population is just over 8,000 currently. Pleasant Hill has a lot of opportunities for High School students . Rather it is sports, classes, jobs, volunteer work, etc.
From day one I felt like I belonged here and was excepted immediately. The education here is so much better and I am so very thankful to get an opportunity to take medical classes and have so many options in high school.
This is the perfect place to raise a family. Pleasant Hill has a small town feel to it and is still close enough to the larger cities for furthering your education or commuting for work with out living in the large city.

Raymore Township

• Suburb of Kansas City, MO
• Rating 3.71 out of 5  7 reviews

Niche User: Raymore is a cute little town. It has not only a great school system, but a slowly growing employee force, and is close to the highway to give immediate access to the big city feel of downtown Kansas City, or the small country towns that surround us. Where else can you find a 6A school in the middle of corn fields?
