10 Things to know before moving to Kansas City

6/27/2019

 
 We know that barbecue in Kansas is legendary, but there is more to this city than what we already know. It may not be as grand as New York or Chicago, but Kansas is remarkable in its own right with delectable food and attractive homes at more affordable prices. Before you settle in Kansas City, take time to read some of the things you need to know about it.

  1. Kansas City extends to the states of Missouri and Kansas. You might get questions about how life in Kansas is when you actually live in Missouri. Kansas City, MO and Kansas City, KS are two separate cities with different governments. Keep that in mind.
  2. You probably want to purchase a car before relocating to Kansas because the primary mode of transportation in the city is the Metro bus system which doesn't go to the extent of the 315-square mile metro area.
  3. If there is one advantage to living in Kansas City, that is you can buy a decent home for $100,000. You can score a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with $200,000.
  4. Don't be surprised to get visitors on your first day in your neighborhood because people in Kansas City are naturally friendly and warm. You will be invited to dinner events and block parties. You don't even have to mention your name in your new-found favorite coffee shop because the barista remembers it.
  5. Head to the Power & Light District's KCLive on the weekend for a night filled with food, music, and drink. "Watch parties" are also a thing here like when the entire city cheered the Kansas City Royals in the 2015 World Series.
  6. Another thing to love about Kansas is the airport. You don't have to go through the hassle of catching connecting flights. If you're two hours early, you will find yourself having a cup of tea for an hour and a half and relaxing before your trip.
  7. Blame it to the vision of the early planners of the city. Right now, Kansas has over 200 registered fountains in the downtown area. That is not including fountains at home and in private properties.
  8. Boulevards abound in the city. It has more than 151 miles of connected multi-lane streets throughout the city. These avenues ease traffic by offering alternate routes.
  9. One of the largest farmers' markets in the Midwest is in Kansas City. You can see a lot of these farmers' markets on weekends and even in the middle of the week throughout the city.
  10. They say that the best things in life are free and that's the same thing for some of the best tours in Kansas City. Entrance to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the hallmark Visitors, and the Contemporary Art are absolutely free. For everyone who loves to learn about motorcycles, you can go on a free tour in the Harley-Davidson Vehicle and Powertrain Operations facility. Calling the attention of beer lovers! Boulevard Brewing Company offers a free trip for everyone who loves a cold glass of beer.
