The Links at Kansas I/II Apartments

It's OK. The area is pretty and convenient to K-10. But unless you golf, your rent will be subsidizing the golf of frat bros and teens who play for free.

Rent and fees continue to go up and up, but there's not any return on that for the average person who lives here. They get you in and then raise rates on you. When you apply to live here, you're put on a list and expected to wait until 2 weeks before move-in to see if there's a place for you. Then you may not be able to move in until the 10th... of the month, but rent isn't prorated at all. When asked about this, the office has no good explanation, just blame it on corporate. I HATE feeling like I'm renting from a faceless corporation and there's no one who has any actual power. It feels like all they care about is making a dime, and they have so many units that they don't have to care at all about individual renters. The office staff are plenty nice, but this set-up renting from a faceless corporation is incredibly frustrating. If you have a problem with them, you have absolutely no recourse.

The apartments themselves could be nice, but my experience with maintenance is that they don't seem to care much. When I moved in, my apartment had been recently repainted, and there was paint splattered all over the floors and even a spider's nest painted over along the ceiling. When it snows, many of the sidewalks between buildings aren't cleared, so it's a treacherous ice skating rink. Read More

Writing a review because the other reviews seem really aggressive, but we've lived here since it opened, and the Links is fine. It's not like over-the-top amazing, but it's a good location and a nice place to live. Sometimes maintenance requests have taken a while, but other times they've been there within the hour. Maintenance is also always incredibly nice and happy to help. The property management company is huge, which means everything is very standardized. That comes with pros (streamlined... operations, predictability) and cons (lack of flexibility), but overall we've had a good experience. Also there are a lot of cute dogs in the complex and surrounding area, which is nice. Read More

Poorly maintained buildings and exterior is constantly filled with trash and dog poop. People there do not pick up after their pets, it's disgusting. We only received a portion of our deposit back - they charged us for carpet cleaning (no pets and only carpet in the bedrooms), cleaning fee for the remainder (we cleaned thoroughly before turning the keys over), and paint. I've never been charged for paint when moving out of a place!!! Absolutely absurd. The management is awful. And the lady... from the office that wanders around the pool asking everybody for their resident ID? What is that about? Nobody wants to be disturbed EVERY HOUR when they are trying to relax by the pool. She also scolded a child for going in to the main building to use the bathroom. Save yourself from this place and rent somewhere else. Read More

The dishwasher and washing machine did not work upon move in. Had to request a maintenance appointment online, then request was put in cue, so who knows when maintenance will get to it. So far have been waiting 2 days. Asked management about it and they said they can't do anything about it. Can't do any dishes or wash any clothes/bedsheets/bath towels. Appliances should have been assessed prior to move in and should be in working order when possession of apartment was taken. In addition,... move in as close to the first of the month as possible. They will not prorate 1st month rent. Will only prorate after the 15th of the month but do not allow move in after the 15th, which is a way for them to get out of prorating rent. The property and the apartment itself is nice but the management and service seems to be lacking. Read More

I have lived in many apartment complexes and this one is by far the worst with customer service - to the point where I am writing a review! They would only like to follow the rules and not treat you like a person. And they do this with all residents. Please go somewhere else. No one needs that kind of treatment in their life.

PS - you can use the golf course even if you are not a resident - just walk on:) Also the pool!
