City - Lees Summit

Lee’s Summit is a medium-sized suburban community just outside the southwest corner of Kansas City. The downtown area in the center of Lee’s Summit is an attractive retail district full of locally-owned specialty shops, restaurants, and nightlife venues housed in historic buildings. The city has developed a healthy tourism sector with many cultural and natural attractions all around, including the Longview Mansion, Missouri Town 1855, Powell Gardens, and the enormous Fleming Park.

The local schools perform exceptionally well, and the crime rate is well below the state and national averages. Lee’s Summit is a great place for commuters to find houses and apartments, with the drive into Kansas City only being around thirty minutes (Amtrak service between the cities is available as well, although the trip takes about an hour).

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

great management fast response

I’ve been here since this summer and have had a few things break or need something. Management has done so well to be quick and responsive. Day before thanksgiving, at 9pm there was a main line clog or break and the apartment started leaking. Management was here within the hour and had water shut off. They spent the whole night cleaning and making sure my apartment was water free also. I can’t express my gratitude enough to the management and maintenance team here.

Great Apartments

I moved here from out of state on a very last minute move. Angie was great to work with and truly helped my son and I start over in Lee's Summit. The apartment was in good shape and had the new carpet and flooring. Any service issue we had was handled very quickly and the maintenance guys were always helpful. I never felt unsafe and felt like we had a home here. Had I not wanted something larger with a garage I would have stayed longer. If you need a place, I recommend renting from Summit Park East Plaza.

from house to apartment

Two weeks ago I moved from my dream house to this apartment complex. (Separation issue) I have now made this my home not just an apartment. As I settled in, I was shocked to realize how much storage there was. I rented a two bed room apartment. I have a king size bed in the master and twin beds in the smaller rooms. Closets are huge allowing room for all of my hanging clothes. There is a pantry and a linen closet. Both bathrooms have medicine cabinets which offers more storage. Extra storage is also available on the lower level by the utility room as a bonus if needed. The hallways are kept clean. The parking spaces are extra wide. The building I am in is quiet and people have been friendly. At first glance, this may seem like an older complex, but it has more room and storage than other apartments.
