My heart belongs to 66204

I like it here. I teared up leaving my apartment last May and worried this house would never feel like home... but it is home. I love beign 15 minutes from downtown and 10 from the plaza. I love being close enough to the highway to get to all places in south joco within 20 minutes. I even can reach the airport in 30 minutes. Score.

I love old Overland Park, I love the Prairie Village shops, and I love that there are houses on my street worth half a million dollars and others worth 100,000. I love the old trees, I love my driveway, and I love my friendly neighbors. Albeit they are quite nosey and observant, but I had Christmas gifts on my door from neighbors and a good samaritan shoveled my driveway on Christmas Day. I don't think ANYONE in my apartment complex knew my name - and I didn't know theirs. I love the runners, cyclists and dog walkers. I love northern Johnson County. My house has character, hardwoods and a huge yard. Can't ask for more...

I will stay. Mark my words.
