All About

Living in North Kansas City, MO

Though those who have apartments in North Kansas City, Missouri, may find themselves across the bridge from the excitement of nearby Kansas City, but as neighbors to the North, the community has proven that it's a hub of entertainment in its own right.

First, residents with North Kansas City apartments and their members in the North Kansas City community have made a name for their town through the family-friendly annual Saturday Snake Parade. Don't be fooled by the name; it's not a procession of creepy crawlers through the Missouri streets. Rather, the Snake Parade is named from the myth that St Patrick drove all of the snakes out of Ireland in the 5th Century. For more than a quarter century, North Kansas City apartment owners have celebrated this charity event on the Saturday before St. Patrick's Day. In total, more than $36,000 is awarded to various charities that participate in the event.

Of course, those renting North Kansas City apartments don't have to wait until March for the excitement to begin. North Kansas City is also home to a Harrah's Casino, and all of the night life, dining and fun that comes with it. Harrah's became the first casino in Missouri when it opened in September 1994. Now, residents with apartments in North Kansas City can be certain that there will never be a night when they can't find something to do.

What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About North Kansas City

I like that it's close to north Kansas City and downtown. I like that it's near the highway. We're able to live in the suburban neighborhood but very close to the urban area. This area is also up and coming.

It's close to restaurants and bars in NKC. I like going to those places with friends, and the neighborhood is close to major highways which is convenient.
