Finding an Apartment in Kansas CityKansas City is both a city in Kansas and Missouri with the Missouri River cutting right around them. We have listed some apartment complexes for both cities down below with websites for each. Highway 435 does a giant loop around the cities and I-35 and I-70 cut through the cities offering excellent freeway access no matter where you end up commuting from. Housing is very affordable in Kansas or Missouri with rents approaching $600/month for a 1 bedroom place. Popular communities like Overland Park and Prairie Village are desirable spots to live if you aren't going to be right in the middle of everything downtown. We suggest going online to start your search at sites like Rent.com or Apartments.com which offer a wide selection of apartments in all areas. Eventually you will want to focus on just a few areas and contact a few property or apartment managers to get basic questions answered to further dwindle down your selections. When you have a few places picked, make an appointment to view them. Ask about things like deposits, pets, pools, parking places, etc. Also, be sure to check out the surrounding streets to see how safe things look. The trade off with every apartment is how nice the place is versus you far you will need to commute to either school or work. Compare 2 or 3 places to be sure you are making the best decision possible.
The cost of living is moderate in the Kansas City Metro area, and 1 BR apartments will normally set you back $600 or more per month. Below are listings for some Kansas City Apartment Rentals.
