Consider Moving to Kanas City
A while back, we asked, have you considered Kansas City as a place for you and your family? We listed a number of reasons why you should consider moving to Kanas City.
Consider Moving to Kanas City
- It is an affordable place to live – If you’re looking for a city that won’t drain your bank account, KCMO will fit the bill. On an index of 100, Kansas City’s cost of living is 91, coming in 8.9 percent under the national average.
- The housing market in Kansas City is incredibly affordable with the median home value hovering around $136,000.
- Kansas City has a world-class food scene. In the Midwest, there’s no excuse for not knowing your way around a table of barbequed ribs. In addition to BBQ, there are vegan cafe’s, farm-to-table restaurants, bakeries, creperies, hole-in-the-wall breakfast places, frozen cocktail bars, donut bars, tea places, steakhouses, Middle Eastern strip mall markets, fresh-pressed juice bars, and upscale date-night dinner spots. The options are endless.
More Reasons to Consider Moving to Kanas City
- There are many entertainment Options – With 220 parks taking up nearly 12,000 acres of green space and nature in KCMO, there’s plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors. There are over 100 miles of trails for running and biking along with 29 lakes, 61 picnic shelters, five golf courses, four museums, and hundreds of athletic fields and tennis courts.
- Cheer on Local Sports Teams – The world champion Kansas City Chiefs make their home here, and there’s no better baseball team than the Kansas City Royals. The games are family-friendly and energetic, and the city goes crazy for them, especially during the postseason.
- A Variety of Cultural attractions – With so many great resources at your disposal, families will inevitably develop a serious appreciation for the arts and humanities. Along with the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, the Kauffman Center of the Performing Arts, and the Kansas City Regional Arts Council brings color and drama to the city and helps foster creativity.
A new reason to Consider Moving to Kanas City
According to Cheryl Young at Zillow on Jan. 8, 2020
- Markets smack in the middle of the so-called “Silicon Prairie” – including Kansas City and Oklahoma City – top the list of those that may appeal to growing tech companies, followed by markets in the Midwest and the South that have the ability to draw talent and the tech companies looking to hire them.
- Eroding affordability and relatively lackluster quality of life put the nation’s more-stereotypical tech hubs – the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, and/or New York – at or near the bottom of the rankings.
“Widely recognized tech hubs, including the San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle, are no longer the obvious spots for large tech companies to expand and/or for new startups to set up shop. Rapid housing cost growth in these areas and a saturation of firms competing over limited pools of tech talent may instead push tech companies to shift their gazes elsewhere.”
