Hello,
I'm doing research on possibility of moving to the KC Metro area. Can anyone recommend any safe and affordable areas. I'm a senior citizen primarily looking for a condo in safe area's. Can be in Kansas or Missouri, city or suburbs. I lead a quiet life and don't go out much at night. I know all cities have bad areas, but I don't know where they are located in the area.
Thank you for your help.

Most suburbs are fine.
I'd avoid Raytown and some parts of Independence. They're adjacent to the east side of KCMO which is the roughest part of town.
Kansas City Kansas is better in the newer parts out west, but I wouldn't recommend the rest of it.
Lee's Summit is good.
Most areas north of the river in Missouri are good.
Johnson County, Kansas is generally good.
Belton and Raymore are okay.
Public transit isn't very good in KC, but you might be able to situate yourself in a neighborhood where you can utilize that if needed.
If you drive, it's an easy enough area to get around in with little traffic compared to similar cities.
