Second and Delaware Apartments

We love this apartment because of it's cleanliness, amenities and well-appointed gym. Due to the location, you're minutes from the Riverfront Heritage Trail walking path, the free streetcar, the weekend market (great prices on produce), and many coffee shops and restaurants. It's easy to find parking in the covered garage. No regrets!

Extremely well insulated; on-site property management is very responsive and courteous; roof garden plots to grow your own vegetables; book club; fun free events on site; 2 blocks to City Market,Chinatown Market, restaurants, street car; the building is very clean and well maintained.; very large triple pane windows , large courtyard with trees and plants. I love living here.

Greedy. They charge you for everything they possible can. My rent has been raised over $200 in the last two years. Not actually ‘luxury’.

Moved from our home for almost fifty years in midtown KCMO to 2nd & Del five months ago. Front office team very responsive to service requests, creative and generous in apartment wide activities, from free coffee bar 24/7 to discount dinners at area restaurants, yoga classes and book club, and a host of activities for a variety of interests and ages. Couldn’t be happier with management team.??

Second + Delaware has an amazing rooftop with the best views of downtown KC, the sunset, and the river. It has three different amenity rooms and a conference room which makes working from home much more managable. The staff is excellent and is willing to go above and beyond to help residents. The leasing agents helped me find missing packages and are willing to put them in your apartment if you are out of town. Maintenance has extra dollys and tools that helped tremendously when moving in. There are tons of resident events each month that are a great way to meet your neighbors and staff! And all utilities are included, so no electricity bill is such a perk.

Right away I'll say the location is unbeatable. A view of the river, right next to the streetcar stop, and great restaurants in every direction. That's about where the benefits stop. The building looks great but was cheaply constructed, the walls are thin, the doors & cabinetry are ill-fitting and sloppy, the appliances are cheap (the dryers barely work). Management is atrocious, they are impossible to get ahold of, they ignore emails and service requests. The price should come with a certain level of management that is not present. The concrete floors and ceiling are great until they start carrying every little sound from other apartments. There are far better options for the price in the River Market, avoid.

Management is absolutely terrible. Avoid at all costs

To start off, the building itself looks to be great quality. The amenities, although not furnished as the building is so new, look to be good. The only thing I will comment on so far with the amenities is in the lobby area there is no coffee bar of sorts just a simple drip coffee marker that I am not entirely sure residents can even use. Coffee isn't always being made. I wish there was a coffee machine of sorts to make latte's etc or at least a Keurig type machine for resident use. But it is what it is. There are plenty of coffee shops in the River Market Neighborhood within walking distance. I will update the review later on when the amenities are up and running. My adventure with Second and Delaware started in 2017. I originally signed a leased before this building was built in Spring of 2017 for a move in date in the spring of 2018, unfortunately due to construction delays that was put on hold. When I saw the building was finally going to be finished in the fall of 2020 and it worked with my schedule I knew I wanted to sign another lease. I loved and still love that it is a Passive House. I finally moved in a little over 2 weeks ago. I had to make a decision on the unit I wanted. I thought I picked a good option. Yes I saw the unit more than once before I made the decision. Yes I picked it. But upon move in I did not anticipate how easily I'd be able to to see in other peoples apartments a across the street from me. The view was not what I anticipated. So I asked for a transfer of apartments as one half the building isn’t even open and there are many units to spare. To my dissapointment it wasn't granted. They mentioned after 6 months they might let me move. Apparently the real issue is how much it would cost the management company to allow me to switch. I’m unhappy being in my current unit yet am required to stay in it for 6 months. I’ve only been in this unit for a little over 2 weeks and I made the request when it had only been just over a week since I had moved in. After waiting nearly 3 years to move in here I was hoping for a better experience. Thus far management has been disappointing.
