Words cannot express how grateful I am to have found Forest Park Apartments. Sharon helped me each and every step of the way to find me just what I was looking for. I love the trial for walking my dog. The grounds always look so beautiful and the laundry and pool are absolute bonuses.

Sharon and Holly were so great, they helped us with everything we needed to move in. I really am so excited about moving to a place where the staff actually cares about theyre tenants. These women went above and beyond, Im looking forward to meeting more great people in our new community.

I love the company! Forest Park is surrounded by beautiful scenery. The lake is a great place to walk our dogs and enjoy the weather! We also enjoy the park with our family. When the weather is nice Forest Park has grills located on the property for residents to use. And with both pools there is lots of fun in the sun :)

Over the 8 years I lived there, it seemed like they would fire anyone in the office who showed competence and compassion and replace them with someone who showed less. By the time I left, it seemed like they were actively looking for ways to screw people over and get more money. Dont get trapped in here, folks. It may look nice, but they dont maintain the buildings very well. Be prepared to battle heavily for any repair that would take one person more than half an hour to accomplish.

I enjoy the atmosphere, staff is friendly. love taking long walks around the pond on the trial. nice to have a big park within walking distance for the kids. the convenience of the surrounding area is a plus. also easy access to i 35 is a major plus

This place describes itself as a pet friendly community and that had me really excited to check them out. However, that only applies to csts, dogs, and aquariums 5 gallons and under? Thats not cool. My ball pythons have never barked at anyone or peed on the carpet.

I was laid off from my job over 6 months ago. The office people have helped me to receive rental assistance every month to make sure I could pay my other bills. I will start my new job in a week and I am so thankful that I live here. They have always been understanding and never judged me. I also love my apartment. It is huge and maintenance is always fast to fix anything that might go wrong. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for an affordable and nice place to live!

I have lived here for two years and I can only say good things about this place. The apartments are spacious, and the grounds are kept up, everyone is just great. The office staff are the best that I have had. They are great.

Love working for such a great company. When I come to Forest Park I love to visit Penguin Park and walk along the trail. During the summer I enjoy working on my laptop by one of the two pools. Hallways were painted last year.

I have lived in the Northland for 34 years, and this will be my 3rd apartment complex. Although I havent moved in yet (I just signed the lease), I know that I will have a positive experience at Forest Park. My son lived here a few years back (as did several of his friends), and from that experience, we all believe its one of the best choices of where to live in the area. The location is convenient to I-35, yet it doesnt seem to be on the highway. The Lakewood Greenway park has always been one of my happy places, with the walking trail - I am so looking forward to living right next to it! I am planning two major moves in the next five years, and with rent getting higher and higher in my current apartment, I decided this would be a good time to downsize to a one-bedroom and save money in preparation for the future moves. I did my research for months, looking at dozens of options online, and visiting many in person. I am confident that Forest Park offers the most affordable place to live, while still feeling like a safe, well-managed property that I will enjoy and feel at home in. I am particularly happy with the floorplan of my new apartment. It is the same one my son had, and it really maximizes the square footage in a way that feels very spacious. There is nothing else like it in any other apartment complex! The people who manage this place are professional, friendly, and fair, and I highly recommend Forest Park if you are looking for an apartment in the Northland.

Great place to live. I have been here 2 years. Staff is excellent, maintenance top notch. There was an incident here January 14th, 3/20 something individuals were kicked off the property. They were trying to break into cars and just create problems and security and staff were on top of it.Well Done

I moved in back in June and Ive really like living here. Maintenance is always quick to respond to our requests. Theres lots of space. Super affordable. I love our little balcony and the large sliding door lets in so much sunlight. The only reason I dont give this 5 stars is because they dont have recycling dumpsters and unfortunately one of our showers is not level.

Worst apartments and staff who gives unexpected bills saying we blocked the drain because of our apartments they have to fix the whole drainage really and even parking is not enough. People smoke weed out the door.

Decent apartments, moved in fall of 2018 and coming up on a year here. Area is quiet, minus the highways traffic which really isn’t bad. Park across the street is really nice if you have animals and want a good walk. Grass areas are well kept and most residents pick up after their animals. The halls can get an interesting mix of smells depending on what your neighbors are cooking but it never enters my apt. Walls are thick so I never hear my neighbors or upstairs neighbors. Decent prices for what you get. I’ve enjoyed my time here and have had no problems.

Forest Park has been straight forward from the moment I first spoke to them. Ive read all the other reviews and can honestly say that people get what they give. As people, we are not entitled to kindness when we cannot be kind ourselves. The staff have only ever been kind and polite to me. The same could be said for the majority of residents. Repairs and concerns are always addressed. If, for some reason, my maintenance request has been idle and unanswered, I simply give them a call and the problem gets remedied. The parking situation could use a major overhaul. Overall, any sensible person who lives in the real world (and not in their imaginary perfect mind-world where their poo doesnt stink) could easily call this place home and be happy.

I have lived here for 3 months with my wife. We had trouble getting approved in 3 different apartments with our credit. Well forest park was so great and fast at getting Us approved. They are very great at responding when there is problem.

Review №27

Updated due to poor experiences in the last year.If you can find anywhere else to live do so - if you cant then be ready for poor response times on maintenance issues and office requests. Please read your lease carefully with these folks and for the love of god make sure you dont try and use your buy-out agreement with you. We had to contact a lawyer because they tried to take us for an extra 1600 dollars that we did not owe them. Luckily we got them to back down but save yourself the trouble and stay away from these people.Find literally anywhere else!!!

Review №28

The day after I moved in, I had to move all of my furniture out so they could replace the carpet. I had no choice in the matter. The week before summer began, they decided to get the pool ready to find out the plumbing was bust. There was no pool the entire summer. On the plus side, they were always swift to respond to my maintenance requests. The staff were mostly unprofessional, I would be promised to get calls back regarding various things and never would. By the time I moved out, it took me three months to get my deposit back. I had to call corporate because the office would never return my calls. Dont live here, there are better places in north KC.

This apartments were great when I lived here. The manager was friendly and helpful. Rent was pretty cheap for the size of the apartment. I never had a problem with my neighbors, the only real noise at night was the interstate. Always plenty of parking and snow was plowed right away. The laundry area was nice and I never had to wait for a washer or dryer and never had someone throw my wet clothes out.

Review №33

These people are heartless, money grabbers. They give this big speech about how they help people in need. They will give you a quote that seems reasonable, push you into spending 100+ just on an application fee. After that they will most likely never contact you again because they probably make more money on the app fees than actually helping anyone out. If you bother them they will make excuse after excuse in an attempt to delay the process. They will also add an absurd upcharge if you bother them too much. The initial quote started at around $800 and then they added some things up and it magically turned into $1500. They wont offer any answers as to why either. Just look and the incredible amount of bad reviews this place has on almost every website their business is associated with. Do yourself a favor and dont ever rent from this place.

Review №34

Stayed at this apartment back in the summer of 2005..Forest park bought it in 2006. Rent soared & on summer of 07 the place caught on fire & I moved.. It was so affordable back when I first lived there like: $535/A MONTH & the apartment was HUGE w/ 2 bedrooms/2bathrooms no joke! Maaaaan!!! The place was amazing back then!......There was a road right at the apartment called Winn rd that connected right to I35 a straight shot to downtown clubs & bars, but its been closed since 2007! Let me tell you this apartment had a HUGE balcony too with an amazing VIEW of I35 downtown highway. I cant tell you how much fun I had, I cant tell how many fun & romantic moments I had at this apartment..Wow! Amazing memories....I cant say if itll be the same for you as it was for me, but I moved in after the military at 22yrs old & I had a blast there for 2yrs straight. -Good Luck!

Maintiance is Awesome, I am glad the rules are finally put into action. Been here since 2010. Management is better. But each year rent goes up and becomes less affordable, especially harder on us residents who has been here around 10 years or longer.But I recommend this complex.

I stayed here for a year in 2012, and I did like the stay here. Amanda, the property manager was very nice and any issues that we had, were resolved within 24 hours. Never had any hassle, and the neighborhood was very quiet. Overall, I would recommend forest park to anyone.

Moved in and everything seemed great on the surface. Marlana and Betty are awesome. The maintance crew is great. Just dont apprieated the amount we pay and water cant even maintain its temp. Hate that my kids cant take a shower cause I dont know if they will be burned or freeze.

Wow where do I begin the terrible service or the awful apartments themselves. DO NOT RENT from them. We have been here about 6 months now and have had problem after problem. Within in the first week our fridge broke, took several day to finally get them to come fix it. Next our kitchen sink backed up and ruined all of our food in the bottom cabinets and also left a horrible smell that lasted for weeks. Not to mention they never had anyone clean it or give us a discount off rent. Next we had our bathroom sink back up and again water came over the sink and ruined everything in our bathroom. Again it took them several day to fix. I REPEAT DO NOT RENT FROM THEM. I truly hope that they go under in the next few year terrible terrible service and I want everyone to know it.

Do not move here. I currently live here & will not be renewing my lease because it is not safe. My car has been broken into 3 times in 2 years. My front door has been vandalized twice. And I have a neighbor who has been harassing me & threatening me for over a year. I purchased a ring camera to document the harassment & prove that I am not the aggressor in the situation, but when I contacted the office for help & provided the video, the manager, Sharon, was rude to me & threatened to kick me out of my apartment.Ive never paid my rent late or had any other issue while Ive lived here, so the hostility from the office is unwarranted & unnecessary.If you are woman living alone or with your kids, I would definitely not move here.

Review №44

Absolutely worst place to live ever! I had Numerous problems with mice and roaches they wouldnt fix anything. Then they charged me for things when I moved out that I had asked to be fixed so I didnt get all my deposit. Along with charging me a late fee when I was not late on my last months rent. I also had several problems with my neighbors I had to call the cops on and they wouldnt do anything about. Its beginning to be a real sketchy neighborhood with high crime rate. Rent is way too high to have to live in trash.

Review №45

The staff call the police on me and den evicted me!!! THIS PLACE IS ABSOLUTELY THE WORST APARTMENTS IN NORTHLAND!!! THE STAFF ARE VERY RUDE, HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL AND COMICAL. THE PARKING SUCKS BUT BE CAREFUL WHEN GOING TO THE OFFICE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT It... I CALLED THE OFFICE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT NO AVAILABLE PARKING SPOTS, WHEN I VOICED MY ISSUE, I WAS HUNG UP ON! I DEN Perceeded to the office to speak with the lady about the parking issues she den calls The police on me saying I was being loud and disrespectful... two days later I had an 10 day eviction notice on my door saying I threatened one of the office staff (WHICH I DID NO SUCH THING). my lease was up the very next month! I feel they put me out so they didn’t have to give me back my deposit nor fix the subject at hand which was the parking... the complex withwoth ticket or tow your car... the ticket is $170 and the tow fee and $250!!! This place and the staff here or a joke. Including upper management seeing I’ve spoke with them pleading my case. No one cared and I still had to move 10 days after being over $1000 for rent!!!

Review №46

Parking here is REDICULOUS. This alone will keep me from renewing my lease.Management is more concerned about making an extra $25 for every person that pays for a vip space to be assigned and added to the TINY lot than having enough spots for everyone.In my particular lot there are 24 spaces of which 10 are vip and two are handicap. So for an apartment block that has 12 3 bedroom apartments there are 14 spaces. Not accounting for the fact that there is a nother identical block attached to ours that doesnt even have its own parking lot.Its extremely frustrating to come home from a 10 hour work day, hands full of groceries and then you have to park two lots away and carry everything thing in.Look. Elsewhere. Or at a minimum make sure youre in a block with a better parking situation.That being said, the staff is friendly. At face value at least. Maintenance is very friendly but not always the best and definitely not the fastest.The other tenants are sometimes kinda rude or inconsiderate. But thats few and far between, mostly everyone keeps to them self which is nice.The hallways are another big con but not a deal breaker. They allow pets and people apparently let there animals urinate in the hallway or track stuff in, mud, etc. This has never been noticable in the apartment it self and they do shampoo the hall carpets a couple times a year.

Review №47

I would give this place a zero star If I can. The property manager is rude, incompetent and never return your phone call. Last July I had a leak and it went on for almost 4 week before they finally fix it an the mean time they alway said just used your pot and pain. The leak continue into I moved out on the windows and they had the nerve to charge me for blind. Not to mention carpet cleaning as well as they claim there was a large dent in the fridge. On top of that the property manager refuse to do a walk through but told her manager that I didnt asked. Once again I advise anyone to not stay there the manager I repeat is incompetent, unprofessional and down right rude. Not to mention they are charging me fees for stuff that was either clean or not even damage when I left the property.

Review №48

I had an overall positive experience until the end of my time here. I got offered a job in a different city, so I had to end my lease early. Within my contract, it said that had to pay 2 months of rent and give 60 days notice that I was leaving. It did not say that I had to pay for all 60 days and then pay 2 months of rent. Ultimately, I ended up having to pay 4 months of rent to get out of my lease.During the entire process, I found the office staff to be incredibly rude and condescending. One office staff member in particular was incredibly rude and hostile. My parents have PhDs and read over the contract, and they said that the clause was arbitrary at best. I gave the phone over to my parents to speak with the property manager, and she condescendingly said, well Im not going to talk about this because I guess Im wrong.How dare you talk to my parents that way! You and property management company should be ashamed of the way I was treated. I also was charged 20 dollars because the oven was dirty, but I did not refute that since it was minor in the grand scheme of things.Its really a shame because the apartments themselves are actually not terrible. Oh well....

Do not move here if you value your stuff!! Since moving here, there have been three separate incidents where drifters have been sleeping outside our door!!! They never do anything about it. And mind you, we havent been here that long. Everyone in our building has had their car broken into and last night my fiancés was broken into and stuff was stolen. The office said well were working on it. No, youre not. Youre a joke. You refuse to fix anything at all. Get some security cameras! Not just your borrow a cop who doesnt patrol after 11 (yes, weve sat and watched just to see if theyre lying). Go somewhere else. Dont give this crap hole your money.

Review №52

So the only reason I gave them a 1 was because of Peggy in the office and the grounds being well kept up with but thats it. I would give them a 0 if it wasnt for that. The new manager kiva acts one way in front of you and acts one way on the phone. We moved out because of her. We moved in April of 2014 and loved it. Peggy the old manager was great helpful pleasant person. But as soon as kiva took over everything went down hill. We recently moved out and got our final statement with 2 water charges and I called and kiva said there was nothing she could do they dont do refunds. Blah blah we had already paid for that water statement. All I had to do was call maxus properties and she pulled it right up wrote me a check and boom done. Easy because the lady knew they over charged. So I will say DONT NOT LIVE HERE.
