Because no reviews exist for this property, this decision review relies on the property’s stated features, the city context, and typical considerations for 3‑bedroom apartments. Any assumptions are clearly noted as such.
Who This Residence Suits
The Duke is a good option if you are looking for a 3‑bedroom apartment with dedicated parking, in‑unit laundry facilities (the “laundry_facility” tag suggests a shared or in‑unit setup – confirm with the operator), and a swimming pool. These three amenities are all listed in the property tags, which is relatively comprehensive for a student‑housing building.
The unit type is exclusively apartments, so you will not share a house or dorm – you get a self‑contained apartment with three bedrooms. This makes the property suitable for groups of three students who want to live together but have separate bedrooms. It is also suitable for those who prefer an apartment layout over a house or a high‑rise dorm.
The address is in Kansas City, MO 64109. That area is within the urban core of Kansas City, close to several universities (though the source data lists no universities associated with this property on Amber – you should check with the operator for proximity to your campus). The latitude indicates a location a few miles southeast of Downtown Kansas City, which may suit students who prefer a quieter residential environment but still need reasonable access to the city centre.
Who It May Not Suit
The Duke is likely not suitable for solo renters or couples, because only 3‑bedroom units are listed. If you are looking for a studio, one‑bedroom, or two‑bedroom apartment, this property would not be a match. Similarly, if you cannot find two other tenants to share the lease, a 3‑bedroom apartment may be financially or logistically difficult.
Because no price is specified in the source data, budget‑conscious students may find it difficult to compare. The city from‑price is $745 per month, but that figure typically reflects the lowest‑priced option across all property types (often a room in a shared apartment or a small studio). A 3‑bedroom apartment will cost significantly more overall, and the per‑person cost may be higher than the city from‑price. You should confirm the exact rate with the operator and then divide by three to get the approximate cost per person.
The property does not have any available reviews, ratings, or resident feedback. If you rely heavily on peer reviews to decide, you will have no direct input. You might consider contacting the operator to request a virtual tour or testimonials from current residents.
Price Positioning vs. the City’s From‑Price
Kansas City’s from‑price on Amber is $745 per month (the lowest listed price among all 33 properties). The Duke’s price is not given, but based on typical pricing in the US, a 3‑bedroom apartment in central Kansas City (MO 64109) generally rents for $1,200 to $2,000 per month total, depending on square footage, condition, and amenities. That would translate to about $400 to $667 per person per month. However, these are indicative figures only – confirm with the operator.
If the per‑person cost of The Duke ends up being below $745 per month, it would be positioned competitively against the city’s cheapest options. If it is higher, then you may be paying a premium for the pool and parking. Because the city from‑price includes studios and shared rooms, a 3‑bedroom apartment with parking and swimming pool will almost never be the cheapest option. That does not mean it is overpriced – it simply reflects the different product type.
Room-Type Guidance
The Duke offers only one unit type: 3‑bedroom apartments (“3b”, “apartment”). The data does not specify if these are separate rooms with shared common areas or if they are self‑contained flats. In student housing, a “3b apartment” usually means three individual bedrooms, a shared kitchen, and one or two bathrooms. Confirm bathroom count with the operator.
If you are a group of three, this is a straightforward choice. If you are a single student, you can often book one bedroom and be matched with two other tenants through the platform (some operators offer individual leasing by the room). The availability of individual leases is not shown in the source data – check with the operator.
The property includes parking, which is a valuable amenity in Kansas City where car ownership is common. The laundry facility and pool add convenience and recreation value.
Booking Timing and Availability
The first available move‑in date listed is 6 July 2026. That is a summer start date, which aligns with the academic calendar for many US universities (fall semester begins August or September). If you need housing for the 2026‑2027 academic year, you can aim to book as soon as the property opens for that batch.
Because only 33 student‑housing properties are listed in Kansas City on Amber, inventory is limited. For a specific property like The Duke, which has a unique set of amenities (pool, parking, laundry), availability may be tight once the academic year approaches.
We recommend starting your search 8‑12 months before your intended move‑in date. If you target July 2026, you should begin looking in the second half of 2025. The operator may allow early reservations with a deposit – ask about their cancellation policy.
Since no reviews exist, you may want to visit the property in person (or request a virtual tour) before committing. The operator may also provide sample floor plans and a list of current residents.

Can I book a single room in The Duke as an individual tenant?
