Kansas City Community

Living in Kansas City

Kansas City may be located in the heart of the country, but it’s certainly not flyover country. See why it’s become one of the most desirable cities in the U.S. to live, work, and play.

Vibrant Kansas City

Known fondly as the “City of Fountains” and “The Paris of the Plains,” you’ll fall in love with Kansas City’s unique architecture, stunning beauty, and dynamic culture. Thanks to explosive growth in the past decade and a strong sense of Midwest pride, more than 2 million people call Greater Kansas City home, making it one of the top 30 most populated metros in the U.S., situated conveniently between both coasts.

"Kansas City hits well outside of its weight class for food, breweries, wineries, museums, dance and music, while maintaining a relatively low cost of living. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and hope to have the opportunity to return at some point in my career."
