This is a hard review to make, because I liked some things about it, but the bad outweighed the good 10 fold, and management had no control of most the bad. (Forgot to mention, I lived their for three whole years.) The management staff is nice and friendly, never had a problem with them. Didn't live on Section 8, and paid almost 800 a month for rent, including pet rent/fees. For a three bedroom 1,000 sqft apartment, it wasn't bad. Maintenance is a little slow at fixing things, but he's a really
...nice guy and has a lot of apartments to tend to each day.
The 2 stars comes from two big things...
In Raytown, apparently parents DON'T THINK THEY NEED TO WATCH THEIR KIDS and don't care what they are doing outside of their view/control. You'll have kids knock on your door and run... Just about every other day. Sometimes more than once a day. They are rude and their parents... WHAT PARENTS? They could care less if their children exist and it would take them HOURS (if not days) to find out their kid was missing. They tear things up and are annoying
The 2nd reason this gets two stars (I want to give them 1 star, but it's not their fault for this), is the crime. It is not safe to even let your kid play outside. I can show you a handful of police reports from different crimes, from both of our cars getting broke into (2 separate incidences) to our Neighbors WHOLE TRUCK being stolen. Neighbors got their cars broke into several times, both our cars, our neighbors truck was stolen, at least one apartment was broke into, stolen cars being dumped at our complex, and more.
I had Dropcam Pro's in the windows, and can link you to SEVERAL recorded break ins and a white van stealing our neighbors really nice truck. Security comes by every few hours, but that's not enough. The bright LED security lights were added about a year ago, but that doesn't stop them from breaking into cars and stealing vehicles at 3 am. There are no cameras and management can't do anything for you if you are a victim.
It's NOT an "IF" you will be a victim to criminals and kids (parents not knowing their kid is outside and the kid damages your car or something), it's a HOW LONG will it take before it happens to you. It's a terrible area. Management would have to add really good cameras and control who comes in and out of those apartments, before I'd ever live their again.
