The Founders Apartments

Decent apartment. I like the location. However, if you enjoy hearing every word of every conversation from your neighbors, consider living here! The walls must be paper thin. I can hear entire conversations had by my neighbors and even people walking outside on the street… mind you, I’m on the top floor of the building. I guess I need to be conscientious of what I’m saying because I’m sure they can hear what is said by me as well. I have contacted the management office to address conversations I can hear early in the morning that wake me up and they are supposed to be calling my neighbors to enforce the «quiet hours» policy from 10pm-​7am but for all other times… are people not allowed to even talk in the living space they pay so much for? I’ve lived in 2 other apartments/​condos in Kansas City and have NEVER had this sort of issue. I try to be at my apt as little as possible. It really bothers me when corners are cut to save a few bucks. I’d rather pay a little bit more to ensure I’m not basically living with the people on both sides of me. All in all, will be looking for a different place to live next year for sure.

This place is nice, but beware. Street crime is common with cars broken into and stolen regularly. Little more than a spruced up ghetto. And the staff – like every place, not all bad. Maintenance guys were nice and helpful. Office staff on the other hand will pay lip service but couldn’t care less. Their only goal is to SUCK the money out of you. Ruth is the queen of the vampires. Pretends to be nice, but just waiting to pounce. How would you like to be charged for dirty window blinds??? You’ll never leave that place without Ruth sucking the money out of your wallet like she has a vacuum lodged in her throat. Expect a «moving away» gift of a bill somewhere north of five hundred dollars. (I wonder if they really cleaned those blinds or just bought advertising???)
Okay, you decided to skip my advice? Record every apartment blemish on their forms, keep a copy, and photograph every issue too. Or, you will be billed.
