Live real close to there so I can help. Overall KC is a nice place to live. The cost of living is fairly low, the locality pay is good, the people in the midwest are really nice, the winters are typically cold and windy, and the summers pretty hot and dry....not humid like FL. The night life is great as there are a bunch of different things to do. The local track (KCIR) was just repaved last year and is smooth as glass. The street racing scene has kinda died down but used to be huge. There are a ton of TR's and TTA's in the area, more than I've seen anywhere else at one time. One day at the track there was no less than 3 TTA's and 7 TR's racing...don't see that too often in the midwest. Everything out here requires getting on the highway to get to, so 15k miles a year is about average. Kansas City Kansas is basically a pit. The county Wyandot is costly to live in (highest taxes) and most areas are pretty bad off. About 15 miles South are plenty of great neighborhoods to live in. Johnson county is the area South of there I'm refering to. Do any search and you'll find that this county has been ranked in the top 10 for median income for a while now. The school districts in JO County are top notch, that's always important if you have kids. Housing is really inexpensive when compared to the coasts. For example, I just bought a newer ( built in 1992) 2900 sq/ft 5 bed/3 bath 5 car garage house on 5 prime acres for less than $200k. I live ~35 miles South of KC KS., so that makes a little difference. That's about all I can think of right now. If you want any further info, privately email me and I'll give you a contact number to call me.
