🚨 One thing to know today
Overland Park now ranks the second most-sought-after city in the U.S. for people looking to rent, according to a recent analysis by website RentCafe.
The largest city in Johnson County comes in just after Kansas City, Mo., which topped the list as the most-in-demand place for people to find a home or apartment for rent.
RentCafe had ranked Overland Park behind several dozen other cities last month, ultimately climbing to the No. 2 spot in June.
“KCMO’s most populous suburb, Overland Park, managed this month’s most impressive climb — 78 spots straight to #2,” RentCafe wrote. “This accomplishment confirms the area’s popularity among renters who appreciate metro Kansas City’s balance between affordability and job opportunities.”
