Quality Hill, Kansas City, Missouri is the place to live if you want a good urban environment in a quality city. Close to bars, restaurants, mass transit, and all the city has to offer. Walk to just about everything a young, up and coming individual needs. Close by is the new Power & Light district development with an urban grocery store, not to mention City Market close by for all the fresh stuff you could want.

Low in crime, kept up nice by the downtown community improvement district....this is really a great area to live if you are looking for a change from the suburban lifestyle.

I can't speak on schools because I have no school age children...but if you are looking for the first place out of college, first house/condo in a marriage, or just a place to be close to practically everything, this is a great area. Check it out.
