Casa Loma

This a classic old building built in the 1930s so that's your starting point and it gets better from there. This building has delightful stuff life steam heat and radiators that clank as they heat up and cool down. It has window air conditioners. It has concrete floors so the noise from your upstairs neighbor is seriously abated. The hot water is hot as soon as you turn on the faucet. The delightful staff delivers your packages to your apartment. It has no parking lot of its own, but the… building is surrounded by street parking or you can pay to park in a lot a couple blocks away. OOPS, I almost forgot: utilities are included in the rent. Best of all the delightful stuff about this building? LIVING ON THE PLAZA IS GOOD! Read More

I've lived at Casa Loma for a month now and absolutely love it. I live in a 320 sq. ft. studio, but it's turned out to be the perfect amount of space for me. That size might turn some people off, but as a single young professional, I travel almost 80% of the time and don't need a spacious floor plan to survive. They have lots of floor plans available with a lot more square footage, I just opted for the smallest one. The apartment--the whole building--is immaculately clean and well maintained.… The staff is very friendly and helpful and it's obvious they take a lot of pride in what they do at Casa Loma. The owner of the building is always stopping by to make sure everything is in perfect condition. The location is as prime as it gets in KC, just steps away from the famous Country Club Plaza, a 5 minute drive to Westport, and a 10 minute ride to downtown. The neighborhood is very well lit, busy, and safe. Just south of Casa Loma is some of the most beautiful, prime real estate in all of Kansas City, surrounded by adorable parks and walking trails. Every night there are people running or walking their dogs through the neighborhood, and of course the Plaza is always hopping with tourists. Parking isn't an issue if you take advantage of the discounted garage pass the apartment staff offers. As old as the building is, the staff has done a great job of maintaining the architectural integrity and old world charm but ensuring that every amenity is up to date and in working condition. The whole building is smoke and pet free, which is very strictly enforced, and keeps the demographic of the building respectful and quiet. Plus--and this might be the best feature of the building--all utilities are included in your rent! If it sounds too good to be true, it's not. I really have enjoyed my time so far at Casa Loma, and am looking forward to becoming one of their famed "long term residents" (some people have lived there over 20 years!!). Read More
