Bad Experience Lost Thousands. 0.5 rating By Anonymous ( Oct 28, 2019) In the fall of 2016 I moved to Osawatomie to be closer to the family that saved my life in 1974 out of state, I purchased a home and knew it needed repair the building codes inspector took my money installed a temporary pole and tuned my water on. Then a few days later told me an ...Read More d I quote, "If I stay I will run you off and if you take me to court I will win" I then sold the house took a five thousand dollar loss today is October 28th 2019 after this episode of basically stealing my home from under my feet I have moved a total of 15 times since this move 16.5 times together. Osawatomie did not have a hardware store at this time and feel that I will not be returning to Osawatomie in the future as a place to live. I do not recommend living in Osawatomie unless you have a really good job or family already in place. This information is correct and to the best of my knowledge. Do your research. Read Less
