Apartment Reviews for Forest Park Apartments - Kansas City

Nestled against I-35, Forest Park Apartments offer access to a multitude of green spaces for the tenant who loves the outdoors. Forest Park is right on Lakewood Greenway and blocks away from Chateau Trafficway Park, for a change of scenery. As far as educational access goes, St. Gabriel Catholic School and Lakewood Elementary School are within walking distance. Reviews of Forest Park are mixed. It is mostly due to maintenance issues that Forest Park has received some unsavory feedback. However, management has been made aware and may be in the process of resolving tenant concerns.

The staff is friendly, and give you a feeling of family even before you rent with them. The apartment comes with a real wood burning fire place among it's other applies, which is rare in most places, as other complexes feature gas burning fire places with fake logs for looks (I prefer the real ones at FPA).

They are pet friendly, but unfortunately cannot accommodate ferrets or "bully" breed dogs. Don't blame the staff, as most adore ferrets and have a big heart for bully dogs and the unfair view the media has. While it is next to a highway (I-35) I and my boyfriend never noticed the noise unless we were outside. We sleep like babies, and both of us wake very easily. In fact We are most often then not woken but noise from our own apartment then the outside.

There are two laundry rooms on site, a gym, and two pools. All are kept clean, but feature no life guard. The leasing agents are often out in the pool area by the main leasing office, and monitor the activity.

They were very understanding and patient with us when we were at fault for a flood in our apartment. They allowed us to help with minor maintenance preparations to help cut cost for the contractor that would have to fix it up.

However, there is a concerning lack of communication between the maintenance crew, reception/leasing office, and the property manager. Save for the annoyance of that issue, Forest Park Apartment in 64117 KCMO is a good choice for those seeking a home.
