7. Mission Hills – Kansas City, Kansas
While the state of Kansas is not known for having luxury areas, Mission Hills has a median income of $219,107. It sits on the border of Missouri and has a population of 3,500 people. Developer J.C. Nichols originally developed Mission Hills as part of a Country Club District plan back in the 1920s as an upscale community. As surprising as it may seem, the ABC television series, Switched at Birth, is filmed in this area. Forbes also listed the neighborhood at number three for America’s most affluent neighborhoods. Kansas City itself has a combination of entertainment, sports, and arts activities to do. Angels Rock Bar is a mix of a lounge and a club in one. On a weekly basis, the bar features entertainment from bands as well as top DJs. Tourists and locals who are in the mood for an adrenaline rush can check out The Dinner Detective Murder Mystery Show. The talented actors are dressed just like every other guest in the establishment so that it’s hard to pick out who is part of the show. The venue’s website says, “In many instances, guests are seated with the performers and don’t even realize it until they die.” The actor detectives go around the venue to question everyone who was there to gain more clues as to who the suspects are. Once the show is over, guests are presented with prizes if they helped solved the crime.
