Kansas City, MO Area Reviews
Amber • 2+ years in Kansas City
February 25, 2025We call it "Paris of the Plains" because KC really does have it all! It's a very green city with lots of great parks. We've got a lot of culture here, lots of great restaurants, plenty of places to go hiking or catch a show--you name it. It's truly a great place to live. However, public transportation does leave a little bit to be desired. While it's free, bus stops can be few and far between outside of Downtown.
