Small world. I spent my High School Years and College days in Louisville. Went to Southern High School and University of Louisville. Moved to Olathe KS (Johnson County) back in 1987 after I retired from the Army.
Honestly, couldn't wait to get the hell out of Louisville. Anyway, OP or Olathe will give you a fine area to raise children in. Indeed, if you live in KS and work in MO - you will pay taxes in both states. So, I honestly can not recommend Johnson County highly enough. We raised both our kids there (they were in elementary school when we moved in) and both went on to KU and Dartmouth. Hopefully, you will enjoy life in KS or MO. Trust me when I say this - there is more to do in either place than there ever was in Louisville. Welcome!!! |

As far as Louisville goes, we've really liked it here. Admittedly, we'd probably feel different if we were kid free when we moved here. Having the ability to walk around downtown with the kids late at night and not feel like I have to look over my shoulder has been a nice change of pace. My only complaint is the utter lack of ethnic foods. It's a foodie city, but it's too small to have vibrant ethnic food scenes. I'm not really sure KC is much better in that regards, but it has to be better than here. |

Where'd you live in KC, prior?

You might want to look at Piper. I know it's in WYCO, but it's upscale, much cheaper than JOCO, has excellent schools, and is right off 435. I used to work at Sprint HQ and on a normal day, it was 20 min. to campus. You can be in Parkville in 10, downtown in about 20.

Not trying to blow the budget on a rental. Would like to stay below 2K. If we were kidless, this is exactly the area we’d be looking. Maybe I’m misremembering, but I’m not sure it fits what we are looking for currently.

Speaking of tax issues, don't live within KCMO proper or you'll have another 1% added to the income taxes you pay.
I lived in Liberty and worked in Overland Park for a few years and I got used to the drive. It's lighter traffic in that direction than the opposite would be (or at least it was when I was doing it over a decade ago). Parkville area probably makes more sense though from the commuting pov.

I've been gone 8 years but for the 15 years I was there, the best schools and the family suburban experience, Lee's Summit was the place in the KC area.

There's a lot of new development around the nearby racetrack. It would be worth checking out. It's a bit longer drive to/from your parents' area, but it's all interstate.
