Anyone originally from California and relocated to KC?

Hi KC! I love your town - my husband is from KC. I am originally from California and we are looking for our family of 6 to settle in the area. I love Mission Hills. Where else is nice? Tell me about your experience and what else feel like Mission Hills but isn’t as expensive. Also - schools? What’s that like? I am a teacher. What do you love most about KC and what do you think are the most fun things to do in the city?
