Mixed industrial-residential area zoned for top-ranked public schools
North Overland Park Hills is a primarily industrial pocket neighborhood with smaller single-family homes near parks and highly rated public schools. It's conveniently located directly north of Interstate 35, running to the county line between Johnson and Wyandotte counties. "It's certainly a part of Overland Park that is more affordable and would cater more to the first-time home buyer,” says Micah Thomas, a real estate broker with Local Agent, LLC. "The average price point for Overland Park is probably $400,000 to $500,000, so you could get something for half of that. The typical buyer here is going to be working some professional job."
