Making the Move to Kansas City

Located directly on the border between Kansas and Missouri, Kansas City sits at the confluence of the Missouri and Kansas Rivers. Known for being the "City of Fountains", Kansas City is also home to extensive parks, including Shawnee Mission Park which has over a thousand acres of land to bike, hike, and fish, and there’s even room let your pup run lease free! Home to the Kansas City Chiefs and the Kansas City Royals, the city is alive with sportsmanship. Whether you’re out to enjoy the great jazz, blues, or the famous BBQ, Kansas City does not disappoint.

Relax and Rejuvenate

If a good stretch and a deep breath are what you need to relax into your new apartment, the Yoga Patch on Wornall Rd might just be the perfect answer. They offer classes for all levels of experience, and kids and families are totally welcome too. Plus, if money is tight, you can take a "pay what you can" class and put your mind (and wallet) at ease. If something outdoors is more your style, be sure to explore the amazing rose garden in Loose Park. With literally thousands of roses to admire and enjoy, you can walk through the trails and admire the beauty of it all, then stop to rest at the Japanese Tea Room and Garden. Whether you would like to curl up with a good book from the Kansas City Public Library or lay out for some deep tissue treatment at Praxis Wellness and get the massage of your dreams, you can find it all in Kansas City.

Action and Entertainment

The Kansas City Power and Light District is the center of downtown nightlife and daytime fun. Shop the latest trends at the boutiques and then recharge at one of the cafes. Hit the grills, taverns, lounges, and bakery, and enjoy the live music and nightly entertainment. There are tons of great events too, like the Free Concert Series and Family Fun Days. Whether you’re out to dance and dine or browse and beautify, your new favorite spot is just waiting to be discovered once you’re all settled into your Kansas City apartment.

City Market Goods

For over 150 years, the historic Kansas City River Market has brought local farmers and merchants together in an open market for all to enjoy. With fresh veggies, fruits, meats, seafood, and gifts, shopping at the City Market is a Kansas City tradition. Take part in one of the "Farm to Table Celebrations" and then catch a concert at night. The City Market is more than a farmers’ market; it’s a social event that isn’t to be missed.

Fun at the Zoo

The programs and events are tailored to fit a range of ages and interests, so your young teen can attend the Junior Zoologist Camp and the little one can go to Zoo Preschool. There’s even a Polar Bear PJ Party for an overnight adventure! The zoo is bursting with science, nature, and education around every corner, so take your time and explore all that it has to offer. Plus now that you’re a local, you can come back as often as you like!
