Apartment Review for Metropolitan Condominiums - Kansas City, MO

Before I begin, I will say that I am an actual tenant of The Metropolitan, unlike some of the other 'reviews' that have been posted. I want to start by saying that I am absolutely satisfied with my entire experience here at The Metropolitan. They have friendly and professional office staff and also at the concierge desk, who greet you by your name. Thus far I have not had any security issues, and I feel very safe. Luckily the building is not in the middle of downtown, but more on the edge. So this limits homeless people just hanging around as you commonly see at the core of downtown. I enjoy the 2 minute drive to Cossintino's Market, which offers the traditional grocery store, plus wine selections, pre-made meals and more. As far as noise... umm there is none.. other than people walking in the hall way, maybe on their phone. Other than that it is very peaceful. Additionally, the community is very friendly here. Everyone seems to talk to one another. I feel very welcomed here. As far as my unit, the layout is fine, I don't care for the bathroom layout, as it reminds me of a hotel, but I can live with it. It's only me living here afterall. A negative is that even with the heating/cooling units off in the room, it still heats up during the day. I think it is because of the energy efficient windows, which keeps heat in from the sun, so I don't know that I can necessarily blaim the building. I am having some issues with hot water in the bathroom area, but then again, I have not yet called maintenance on the issue, so we'll see how it goes. Like I said, I am very satisfied, and would recommend The Metropolitan to anyone looking for an urban lifestyle, yet away from the characteristics involved with living in the core of downtown.
