My neighbor and I were both hanging out with our dogs on the back lawn leading up to the woods the other day, talking about how great and sunny and outdoorsy, and quiet it was, and How much we loved The Preserve!

I came here from a Really Bad apartment and situation over at Fountain View in KC MO. I checked all these ratings and looked the place over several times, and it won out by far.

So - honest recounting of my experience so far: ----- in the main office was awesome. Made my whole experience from first appointment to after signing pleasant. The first month, i had a Couple of probs with callbacks from the office, and therefore some of my maint. requests were slow, but that maintenance guy has since been let go.

Any problems I've had since have been resolved. Bug guy came second week for some silverfish, and they have not returned. -- from maintenance just stopped by the other day to replace our air filters - which yes, should be standard and I certainly didn't request, but most apartments have Never ---e that on their own. Slow draining sink, fixed same day. Wasp nests on side of building, ---- was out immediately and even made sure I came out with him to make sure he hadn't missed any that I had seen. Very courteous. Very professional.

My apartment is gorgeous and spaceous. I have tons of light, my own brand new washer and dryer in unit, all working and up to date appliances, fantastic closets, huge second guest bathroom, and for Very reasonable rent.

I do hear dogs barking sometimes, but not in the middle of the night - mostly around 5PM when everyone's coming home and people walk their pets after work. I've also watched notices be posted to one whose dog was a problem, and she was then kind enough to come around to all her neighbors and explain what she was doing about it, which she did, and that dog no longer yips. That's another thing, but again maybe just my area - every neighbor here is actually friendly and cool.

Also, i haven't experienced a noise problem. Maybe because of the area I live, or my unit, but I'm home all day doing graduate work, and it is Never a problem getting peace and quiet and my nice wooded view here.

They seem to genuinely want to keep the place up, much more than expensive places I've lived. The other day a whole crew was out here just patching up crumbling places on curbs and driveways. And i ---'t even know that it had been a complaint.

So Go Preserve! I'd say check it out, I totally think it was worth the long search I made before I made a decision.

The staff members get on here and post reviews like this one, they are so easy to spot,Its funny how they include all of the staff members names in some cheezy made up story.

Dude, seriously? I do not work here. I moved here from Fountainview on the Plaza in February of this year, which was an apartment complex from HELL, and this has been a pleasant experience for me. Maybe different for some people, but good so far in my experience. I admit, I'm a little afraid now about the money process when my lease runs out after reading these reviews, but so far, I really enjoy it. Different people, different opinions.

Trust me, my husband and I have lived here for going a little over 2 years, not because we like it but because its just such a pain to move and come up with all the huge deposits places require, and we would NEVER tell someone to rent from here. -- is awesome he ALWAYS is helpful and very friendly. The ----- in the office are nice except ------ and the manager ---. They are horrible to deal with and once you have lived here long enough to experience a problem you will very quickly change your mind. They are so rude we even had to contact corp because of how we were handled at one point in time. We are great renters, turn in our rent on time, even switched apt and they didn't charge us anything extra because we are very clean, but if you ever need them to do anything and they mess up then ------ will be the first to get up in your face and -------------------------and tell you "WHATS UP". She is a very inappropriate and should not even have a job here. --- is a liar and he will tell you he overheard the conversation that was had and when you start to disagree with what he says went on then he will back up and say well I had to step out of the office so I didn't hear the entire thing. Very nice area and peacefull I will for sure give you that, but that has NOTHING to do with the Preserve that is Overland Park that you are living in which is a huge difference from anywhere you would be in KCMO.
