Your taxes are going to be much higher in Kansas than in Missouri. The Kansas side of the line is nicer, much newer and better developed than the Missouri side. If you like a rural setting the Missouri side, south, has a lot to offer. You can get into the peace and quiet of the farm land very quickly.
Either side of the line has rapid access to the north-south, east-west interstate highways.
How far south will your work take you?
