Overland Park Walking Trails

Question: Looking for a park and walking trail?

I taking my date for a picnic and looking for a good place in/near Overland Park that has a pretty good view somewhere and place where we could walk. Any ideas? Thanks.

Answer: Alright the best park in Kansas city area is Loose park. Its right by the Plaza and if you want you can walk down by the river walk on the Plaza. Loose park is huge it has all concrete walking paths, it has a nice area to sit down by a pond and watch the geese. They have some old civil war relics, they have an awesome area where people get married with a gazeba and flowers galore something she might like, this park is just cool, this is your best bet in KC. Its around 55th and Wornall I think or 55th in Ward one of the two.. Have fun.

Overland Park Kansas Telephone Directory

Though Kansas isn’t the state with the largest population, it certainly has embraced the cellular telephone lifestyle with 13 different carriers offering their varying cellular phone services to the state by 2006. A surprisingly sizeable amount of Kansas’ population subscribes to cellular phone service. Consider the following.

In the year 2000, the population of Kansas was 2,688,418, and there were 724,024 cell phone service subscribers. This meant that at that time, almost 27 percent of the state’s population was already subscribing to a mobile phone service. By the year 2006, though the population of the state rose 2.8 percent to 2,764,075, the number of cellular phone subscribers rose dramatically by 59 percent, to 1,771,588, meaning that 64 percent of the population was now subscribing for a cell phone service.

Cellular phone technology has simply taken off in Kansas, primarily in its three largest cities of: Wichita, Overland Park, and Kansas City. This is most simply a matter of population, as the largest numbers of people tend to reside in these cities so it is therefore natural that they would be the largest subscribers to cell phone services.

Furthermore, a great deal of the state’s economy is centered in its largest cities. As the number of businesses rise, the amount of cell phone subscribers will typically rise right along with it, as businesses find it very useful to be able to reach their people whenever they need them, and as people become accustomed with the benefits of the technology, they become more likely to use it in their personal lives.

However, even though the state has thoroughly welcomed cell phone technology and a great deal of its population utilizes it on a regular basis, there is still no Kansas state-wide cell phone number directory that can be searched by people who need information regarding a person’s cell phone. Check out this site that provides these people with a practical, premium service that allows access to a large amount of useable information that can be very helpful – especially in the absence of a state-wide directory. This site boasts an extensive directory for Kansas and is a natural solution for the cell phone number searches in that state.

Overland Park Kansas Subdivisions

Everybody understands that every city’s housing market is unique. In the Kansas City area, there are hundreds of people trying to sell property in a market that is currently flooded with new residential construction. You can’t expect to simply put a sign in the yard that says “For Sale” and wait for the phone to ring anymore, especially if you need to sell quickly. With all the choices buyers have, you have to do all you can to make your house look like the best deal. Here are three often overlooked things to consider when you need to sell quickly:

1. Curb Appeal
Curb Appeal, or how your house looks from the road, is very important. If you aren’t careful, buyers can make up their mind, subconsciously, NOT to buy even before walking through the front door. This sounds so obvious, but you would be surprised at how many times I’ve driven up to a house in a nice Olathe or Gardner subdivision and thought how they could have at least gotten rid of that huge dead limb laying in the front yard. This is even more important in the nicer areas of town like Olathe where neglect of curb appeal will stand out even more. But this doesn’t mean that you have to spend thousands of dollars on professional landscaping. Simple things like keeping your grass mowed, picking up the dead tree limbs, touching up the paint on that railing and fixing that twisted downspout can make a huge difference. If buyers are turned off when they pull into the drive, it could well be that nothing in the inside will win them over.

2. Know Your School Districts
If you are considering selling your house yourself, without a Realtor, make sure your potential buyers know what schools are around your neighborhood. Many potential homebuyers are looking to live in specific school districts (Fort Osage or Grain Valley for example) and may not know if your house is included in the district they prefer.

3. Possibility of Creative Financing
In today’s credit crunch, many people with great credit ratings find that they are unable to get a good home loan through a bank. You might consider offering your potential buyers some form of down payment assistance or owner financing. In this way, you are increasing the number of people who actually CAN potentially buy your home. Legal papers for these types of transactions can be set up by real estate attorneys in your area for a fee. This strategy is especially effective in areas like Overland Park and Olathe where there are large numbers of new home construction that are being offered using only conventional financing.

There are many other additional tips and techniques available that can help you sell quickly. Taking advantage of them will help put you above the other sellers in Kansas City who do little more than list their house for sale in the newspaper.
