I can only comment on Kansas City, as I used to live there and I agree with you. It's great for the time being, however, it is starting to grow very rapidly. Not quite at, say, Denver's pace but it makes me wonder how long the city will keep its low prices. The rent prices were listed at $954 in MO and $1127 in KS. Both are on the expensive side and i literally don't know anyone who pays this much for rent. You can find a very nice place (20 minute drive from downtown) on both KS and MO sides of Kansas City for $500-$700 per month.
