Who This Residence Suits
- Residents who value on-site amenities: The property provides Wi-Fi, a fitness centre, and parking. If you rely on a car or want a gym within the building, these features can simplify daily life.
- Those seeking multiple room‑type options: With studios, one‑bedroom, two‑bedroom, and general apartment layouts, you have more flexibility whether you live alone, with a partner, or with roommates. Dual occupancy is also allowed, which can help split costs.
- People who prefer a mid‑range budget in Kansas City: At $945 (indicative) for the cheapest unit, the property sits above the city’s lowest‑priced options ($745) but below many high‑end listings. If you have some flexibility and want amenities beyond the bare minimum, this price bracket can offer a balance.
- Maintenance‑sensitive renters: Two reviewers specifically praised the maintenance staff (Daren Wong / Darren). If fast, personable service when repairs are needed matters to you, positive feedback about maintenance is encouraging.
Who This Residence Does Not Suit
- Budget‑conscious students or workers aiming for the city’s cheapest rent: The minimum price here is $200 per month above Kansas City’s from‑price. If you need to keep housing costs as low as possible, exploring the 30+ other properties in the city (some starting at $745) would be prudent.
- Those concerned about safety incidents: One lengthy Google review details serious security events — a drive‑by shooting, a lobby killing, and management changes over a 14‑year tenancy. While that reviewer’s experience spans 2008‑2022 and management may have changed again, the account raises questions about the property’s safety record. Prospective residents should verify current security measures directly with the operator.
- Anyone who requires a very short or very flexible lease: The data does not specify a minimum lease term or an available move‑in date. If you need month‑to‑month arrangements or a move‑in before the standard academic calendar, you’ll need to ask the property directly; no such flexibility is indicated.
- People who rely on many online reviews: With only five Google reviews, the sample size is small. Although the average is 4.2, a single negative review can pull the score down. You may want to cross‑check with other platforms or visit the property in person before committing.
What Real Residents Say
The property has three published Google reviews (two with full text). Here they are verbatim:
Nicole Dabney (rating: 1)
“Me and my two sons moved in, in 2008, when there were mostly elderly pepole. We left in 2022. While there, our living room window got shot out in a drive-by (on the hightest floor), they changed management twice, and a 19-year-old was killed in the lobby. During his balloon release, we were getting into our van to go t”
Henok Jemberu (rating: 5)
“Daren Wong’s maintenance work at my apartment was truly exceptional. Not only did he demonstrate great skill and attention to detail, but his punctuality and personable demeanor made the entire experience great. I recommend Daren with 100 percent confidence!”
Cassy Smith (rating: 5)
“Darren was very professional and helpful. Made multiple runs out of my apartment to make sure my system was working correctly.”
The contrast is evident: two reviewers highlight excellent maintenance service, while one long‑term tenant describes a decade‑and‑a‑half with serious safety issues. Both perspectives matter. The maintenance praise suggests that if you encounter repair problems, the on‑site team (at least certain individuals) responds thoroughly. The safety review, though historical, indicates that the building has faced violent incidents. Whether management and security have improved since 2022 is something you would need to confirm.
Price Positioning vs the City’s From‑Price
Kansas City’s lowest‑priced student‑oriented housing begins at an indicative $745 per month (across 33 properties in the dataset). Cavalier At The Crosswalks starts at $945, a 27% premium. The top end of its range ($1,695) is more than double the city base price.
- $945 (indicative) – Studio or smallest unit
- $1,695 (indicative) – Largest unit (likely a two‑bedroom or apartment)
Compared to the city from‑price, this property targets the middle‑to‑upper segment. If you have roommates and split a two‑bedroom at $1,695 (about $848 per person), the cost per person is closer to the city average. Solo renters, however, will pay a noticeable premium over the cheapest studios elsewhere.
Room‑Type Guidance
- Studio – Compact, all‑in‑one living and sleeping area. Suitable for a single occupant who values simplicity. Indicative price likely at the lower end of the range.
- 1‑bedroom – Separate bedroom, more privacy. Good for one person or a couple (dual occupancy allowed).
- 2‑bedroom – Best value per person if shared. Two bedrooms allow each resident to have their own space while sharing common areas.
- Apartment – A general category; could be larger or offer different layouts. Confirm with the operator what distinguishes this from the other types.
Given dual occupancy is allowed, couples or friends can share a one‑bedroom or two‑bedroom to reduce individual rent. Studio renters pay more per square foot but gain independence.
Booking Timing Considerations
The provided data does not specify availability dates or minimum lease terms. For a property with only five reviews and a history that includes management changes, early booking (2026 or 2027 move‑ins) may be wise to secure a specific unit type — especially the more affordable studios or one‑bedrooms, which tend to fill first. Contact the operator several months before your intended move‑in to confirm current vacancy, lease duration options, and any move‑in specials. Because safety concerns were raised in one review, visiting the property in person during daytime and evening hours can help you assess the current neighbourhood atmosphere.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the property safe?
One reviewer (Nicole Dabney) reported a drive‑by shooting and a homicide in the lobby between 2008 and 2022. Two other reviewers did not mention safety issues. Management may have changed since those incidents. There is no current security rating from the operator in the provided data. You should ask the property directly about security measures (cameras, key access, on‑site staff) and, if possible, speak to current residents or visit the area yourself.
What is the cheapest way to live here?
Sharing a two‑bedroom unit with one other person would split the indicative maximum rent of $1,695 roughly in half (approximately $848 per person per month), which brings you closer to the city’s starting price of $745. A studio alone starts at $945. The most cost‑effective option is to share a larger unit.
Are utilities and Wi‑Fi included?
The tags list “wifi” as an amenity, but the data does not specify which utilities are included. Typically, properties with “wifi” may provide internet, but you should verify whether electricity, water, gas, and trash are covered or billed separately. Confirm with the operator before signing a lease.
