Arlo of Olathe Apartments

My apartment was gross when I moved in and had to use a bunch of bleach wipes to clean it. Neighbors are trashy and like to park in the handicapped spots when they don't need them, which the apartment complex didn't seem to care or notice. When I moved out they tried charge me an extra 10 days because when I went to turn in my keys, the lady left early and I wasn't able to return them, so I drove to my new place with the keys. I tried calling them the next week but no one ever answers the phone.... This is just a small list of grievances I have with this place. My original review of this was 1200 characters too long to be posted. I don't know how people rate this place 4 or 5 stars Read More

Arlo of Olathe: Great... If You Don’t Mind Living on the Edge

Arlo of Olathe is a fine place to live—as long as nothing breaks, you don’t own a car, and you only use a microwave. Seriously, if you dare to expect functioning amenities, fair treatment, or a safe place for your vehicle, you’re in for a rude awakening.

Maintenance: Don’t even think about something breaking in your unit because it will stay that way indefinitely. Repairs take forever, and when they finally happen, they’re rushed or... poorly done. It’s like playing roulette every time something needs fixing. Don’t expect management to care—they’ll just shrug it off and move on.

Parking & Illegal Towing: If you own a car, good luck. Even if you follow all the parking rules, your car might still get towed. No warning, no explanation, just an unexpected bill from the towing company. Management takes zero responsibility and offers no help.

Fire Hazard: Planning to cook dinner? Be ready for a full-blown fire alarm the moment you turn on your oven. These alarms go off so easily that it’s not just annoying—it’s unsafe. Imagine not being able to tell a real fire from a false alarm. If you don’t want to risk it, stick to your microwave and pray nothing else malfunctions.

Management: The management team is unresponsive and completely unhelpful. Emails and calls are ignored, and when they do respond, it’s clear they don’t care. Tenants’ concerns, even serious ones like safety issues or illegal towing, are brushed off without a second thought.

Arlo of Olathe could be a great place to live—if you lower your expectations to rock bottom. For the price they charge, you’d think you’d get functioning appliances, competent management, and a safe place to park. Instead, you’re left dealing with constant headaches and a complete lack of accountability. Save your money and your sanity—go elsewhere.

We haven’t been comfortable to call this place ‘home’ since day one. My apartment unit has smelt like MJ & cigarettes because of our downstairs neighbors. Smell travels up through the vents and it’s STRONG. Management refuses to do anything other than a slap on the wrist as a sad attempt to put a stop to it or help us in relieving this issue. It’s a constant hassle to leave windows open just so that our belonging don’t smell… it’s the worst welcome ‘home’ we’ve ever received every dang day we... walk in. Do NOT move here without seeing your building/unit… I’d recommend several other places than here until this issue is SOLVED.. period. This has been an awful experience to have brought my baby into, I seriously cannot wait to get the heck out of here Read More

Be careful. Look at the building you’re renting before signing. Do not sign based on the model. Units have very little insulation and if you’re on the third floor and like it cool on a hot day you’re out of luck.
Spend a little more and try somewhere a touch on top of things.

These apartments are really nice and affordable for my lifestyle. I love the layout of the 2 bedroom and Jeidi has been super helpful.
