OVERLAND PARK: A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE
Overland Park has been recognized by Money magazine as one of the Top 10 "Best Places to Live" in America.
Ranked ninth on the list, Overland Park was recognized specifically for its affordable housing, good jobs and proximity to Kansas City, Missouri. As Money magazine reported in its August edition:
"The city (where Sprint Nextel employs 12,000 people) recently began building a dozen soccer fields to host national tournaments - good news for local businesses. There are six major medical centers here too, and schools are among the best in the nation. Happily, development hasn't paved over the green space: The Arboretum and Botanical Gardens covers 300 lush acres, for example."
This is the second time Overland Park has been in the top 10 of the list.
