I love my apartment at The Crossing. The apartment itself is a great layout and fits my lifestyle perfectly (single professional, midtwenties, with two small dogs). Albeit, the kitchen is a little tight, I like to cook and there is just enough room for one person to work in it. I very rarely hear my neighbors and everyone is very respectful and friendly. I always feel safe, even walking my dogs late at night, and often see patrol cars driving through, which I really appreciate. The landscaping and grounds could use some sprucing, but this is a small nit in a really great place to live. Zona Rosa and a few other nearby complexes offer shopping, restuarants and some nightlife very close by (driving distance, not walking). There is easy access to the highway, and downtown KCMO is about twenty mintues away. Also,coming from this area, there is very little traffic during rushhour (morning or evening) into the city. I live near the back of the development and never hear noise from the roads or highway, however I can't speak to the front of the development that boarders the highway. Overall, I'm really happy here and plan on renewing my lease.
