Checking The Pulse Of The Kansas City Real Estate Market

For the fourth time in the last 7 years, the city of Overland Park Kansas is ranked in the top 10 of Money Magazine’s list of America’s Best Small Cities. The list has become an annual gauge of the hottest cities to work, live and raise a family. The list is a compilation of U.S cities with features including “strong job opportunities, great schools, low crime, quality health care, and plenty to do…” 

Overland Park came in 9th in the 2012 top 100 poll, following up on past top 10 finishes in 2006, 2008 and 2010. The list considered cities with populations in the 50,000 to 300,000 range (Overland Park has an estimated population of 175,000). The poll notes Overland Park residents “rave about their friendly neighbors” and that the city features large national employers in additional to having “a half-dozen mid-size firms move to town in the past year”.
