Legacy Oaks Apartments

I recently rented an apartment here and felt compelled to share my experience. The rent is outrageously high for a small town like Independence. The monthly rent here is comparable to what you'd expect in a much larger city with a vibrant job market and plenty of amenities, but that is far from the reality of this place.

Adding to the disappointment is the condition of the dog park. While it's nice that the complex tried to improve it last year, the park remains a small, stinky corner of the… property that is never cleaned. The residents do not take care of the space, making it a nasty, unpleasant place. My dog even got scabies from using the dog park, which is totally unacceptable.

The apartment itself is nothing special. It's small, has basic amenities, and is not worth the premium price they're asking for. I strongly advise anyone considering this apartment to think twice. Unless there's a significant reduction in rent, it's just not worth it. Save your money and look elsewhere if you can. For the same price, you could get a top-tier apartment downtown, which doesn't even compare to this place. Read More

Very good, I love parking, and save place. And privacy.

Management is awful. They are unkind and do not care if there are problems. You have to make multiple complaints to have things addressed. Property is stolen feet from your door (which was locked) and the manager says if you want more security pay $125 a month for a garage.
The walls are extremely thin and you here neighbors all day long.
They don't follow the contracts/leases and ignore things when other neighbors violate the lease rules. There are aggressive dogs that live in the complex too… .
Bottom line, if you want to feel safe, secure and live in an apartment complex where management treats you with dignity and common courtesy go live somewhere else. Read More

I have lived at Legacy Oaks for over two years now and have loved everything about it. In unit washer/dryer, enforced parking space, quiet community for how many people live there and great maintenance/office service! If something needs to be done in my unit, it has always been fixed by the next day, noise complaints are taken seriously, and the office staff is always helpful. The gym and layout of the apartment are nice too. I will be sad to leave this place.
