About this place
Overland Park is a dynamic city in northeastern Kansas and the largest community in Johnson County, forming part of the broader Kansas City metropolitan area. It blends suburban comfort with urban amenities and is recognized as one of the most affluent cities in the United States, with a population of around 197,000 residents.
The city is well-connected by major highways, including Interstates 35, 435, and 635, along with U.S. 69.

Navigation is straightforward once you grasp the street layout: north–south streets are named, while east–west streets are numbered.
