Province of Briarcliff

Reading some of the prior reviews, I entered the leasing office prejudiced with skepticism from the remarks of high water bills and absent staff. Upon my arrival I was greeted by Romy, who has now been my main point of contact at the complex. The staff has always been as friendly and attentive as I could have asked for. My emails are responded to as soon as the staff is on clock, no exceptions. The maintenance has reported immediately following requests even after normal working hours (~10 minutes), and there is almost always someone in the office. The water bill fluctuation has been solved by a flat amenities fee that also includes the gym, trash, pool, etc. As for the rent - The renovated apartment that I stay in was the only residence I could find in northern Kansas City within my price range with the build quality, space, and distance from downtown. I could rent a house on Barry Road for about the same, but the build quality would be worse and I would be driving about triple the commute to work. Some people report break-ins to their cars. I park outside every day and have not experienced this luckily. I lived just across the road at Briarcliff West (a quarter mile south) for multiple years and am familiar with the area. I've always understood this area as a very safe and friendly suburb. I also feel safe at home with the hidden double dead-bolted front door that prevents lock picks. The noise levels have been very quiet. I can't quite tell if I have shy neighbors or if the soundproofing is excellent. Although, I have received no complaints from my speaker setup which is "not a modest noise producing machine." On to the bad: The floors are somewhat uneven. I don't mind this too much personally but I feel obligated to put this in my review. Second, I was informed by the maintenance that my specific apartment generally has problems with heating and cooling and that I'll be seeing them a bit. But it seems as though I just rolled the dice poorly and its just mine so I'll take the hit for everyone, I don't mind. I've lived here for four months now and feel like my general synopsis is now producible. Walk in and take a tour - see for yourself.

We're new residents and unbelievably happy to be here. Our space is beautiful and has everything we want. Fairly quiet, can't hear the resident below us at all, lovely lighting from the large bay windows, and easy highway access. Romy has been a huge help making sure all of questions get answered in a timely manner.

Great experience moving in. Shelbi and Kristi are wonderful in the office. Responds quickly. Love the 2 bdrm/ 2 bath unit. Wonderful light throughout the upstairs unit. 2 balconies. Spacious. Pet friendly.
