Still mad

My girlfriend and I lived at the AMLI in Lee's Summit, Missouri for 2 years....2004 to 2006. Beautiful place, nice pool, nice gym, pleasant staff. However, and this is big, no insulation between floors. We could here people walking, people talking, and people well you know.......Not just a little bit, full conversations! After two years of complaining about the "noisy" neighbors, and one guy was a real -------, we moved to a townhome. After moving out, we only received less than half of our deposit back. They kept money for dirty cabinents, furniture marks on the carpet, stains in the bathroom drawers, weird stuff......and we left the apartment cleaner than when we got it. And no thank you from the management for cleaning all the dog hair out of the apartment or making the patio look and feel like a home. It's a very beautiful place, but don't judge a book by it's cover!

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry to hear that you were upset with your move out statement. We do try to be as fair as possible when assessing charges at move out. We only charge a resident for what needs to be replaced - or what we receive additional charges from our vendors for. I can assure you that you were NOT charged for everything you listed, and I would be happy to go over your move out statement and photos with you if you would like. Please let me know if you would like assistance to better understand why you might have been charged.

Kiss your deposit goodbye!!!!

I lived at Summit Ridge for a year and a half. At the beginning the apartments were nice but as time went on things changed. I recently moved out, leaving the place spotless and in better condition then when I moved in. Recently, I received a letter from management stating I have lost my whole deposit of $150 and owe about another $70. They charged fees for ridiculous things: the stove was clean but didn't run self cleaning, the blinds on one end (three blades) were bent they charged $50 for a new 71" blind, there were furniture impressions still left in the carpet, the tile (which never looked clean) they considered dirty, left a plant that they gave me as a "move in gift" there charged to get rid of it, caulk separating from the wallk and the counter (not my doing just bad workmanship)...need I say more!! It is a scam...Don't move here!!!!

good experience

I've been at this location (now called Summit Ridge Apartments) for 2 years now and I'm relocating, so I thought I would write a review. The apartments are pretty new and I never had to call for maintenance. They must be pretty quick, though, because one of the steps broke outside of my place and they fixed it in 2 days. They spray for bugs every few months or so and I only occasionally get some silverfish. I am on the third floor, so I don't hear anything from neighbors. Actually, I think I might be the loudest one in the whole building! The management staff seemed courteous enough when I had to go to the office. They weren't extremely good at communication via email, though. I didn't get a response occasionally. Also, due to their changing-of-hands, their billing system isn't setup with their accounts system, so I have to manually add in my monthly rent. Just a little hassle. Finally, one of my biggest complaints: rent keeps going up about $20 per year, even with a year lease agreement. They had a good termination policy though, in case you have to suddenly leave.

Unbelievably bad...

I lived at AMLI at Summit Ridge last year and can empathize with all the upset residents on here. The worst thing about this complex is the management and staff. I can't even believe some of them are allowed to communicate with people. They are so condescending and rude. Sure, you may think they are nice when you first come to look at the place... but it completely changes when you become a resident. I had many problems with my apartment and the complex that I had to bring to their attention MULTIPLE times before they were fixed. The staff just doesn't listen. They really seem to not care at all. Windows are horrible. Maintenance seems incompetent. Lights were always going out in the parking lot. My walkway was hardly ever salted in the winter. I WOULD NOT recommend this complex to anyone.

Pathetic management

I lived here a couple of years ago and most all of the negative reviews are right on the spot. The management is absolutely horrible and rude. They also seem very desperate and pathetic trying to give a positive, advertised review after every negative one posted. Stay away from all AMLIs. From what I have experienced and been told about other ones, they are unprofessional and not a good place to live. During the time I lived there, I was asked to pay mysterious and unexplained fees, was told I didn't pay the right amount of rent-when I had, was laughed at by the staff because I was upset about the way they were treating people, they forgot how much my rent was several times, and all of this is just what I experienced while in the office area. The reviews don't lie. It's almost like this is all a game to them and all they care about is how to get more money. Normally I wouldn't bother making a comment this long after living there, but I don't think it's fair that management can write anomynous reviews on here.

About the Best Thing in Lees Summit, but That Doesnt Say Much

Pros: Nice landscaping, extra amenities are nice, apartment usually "fresh" when you move in. Cons: Poor bookkeeping, poor building construction and quality, poor to average maint. crew, OVERPRICED for the city. Considering there are very few apartments of good quality in the city of Lees Summit, this is about the best option if you want to live near the heart of the city. Other options would include new apartments near 150 and 291 highways, or decent apartments on the golf course in Grandview. This complex is corporate owned and operated, with headquarters in Chicago. Therefor the rental rates are adjusted on the national rate (usually higher) and not for what is the going rate in the city. Average rent for a 2 bedroom apartment is between 930 and 1000, one bedrooms usually start around $600. Be aware that there is no loyalty reward for staying in the complex. After your first year your rent will be raised considerably, which is why you will see so many people moving in and moving out.

HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT

The management is not helpful at all and they are very rude, no one seems to know what they are doing and they all seem to hate their jobs. I was cursed out by a member of management and was forced to call the corporate office and no one still has done anything! The parking in this building sucks because I always have to park about three buildings down from mine cause I can't ever find a parking spot. The management is nice to you until you move in and then they don't help you at all. No one ever seems to know what the heck is going on! I'm very disappointed. There are also mice in my apartment. And I live on the second floor. I've tried to contact that management but they still haven't done anything about it!

Mouses in my apt-looks are deceiving

not that impressed

walls are thin, bedroom is cold due to large windows, maintenance has come in once without leaving a work order. didn't realize I needed a card to do my laundry in the laundry facilities, I've lived here for almost 3 months and haven't been given a card. there is a carwash but you have to provide your own soap and the water pressure is minimal. On a good note, nice landscaping, nice pool, and a great gym. I do feel they're a bit overpriced for what you get though.

Poor service, high rates, buy a home instead

This apartment complex was nice for awhile, but then the rent renewals came and rates skyrocketed, safety was always a concern as it would take days to repair routine light outages in parking lots. Beware of the poor windows in these apartments. Thin single pane windows which are poorly sealed and very drafty. Complex is aware of the issues with these windows and tells residents "its just poor building and cheap materials when the complex was built, nothing we can do". Don't be fooled by the mass number of spamming from this complex in the past few days. There are much nicer and much cheaper options for rent. Heck, my wife and I were renting a 2 bedroom apartment for over $1200!!! Our mortgage on our new home was only $1300!! Think before you rent and build some equity!

Great Apartments, Great Location

I love it here. Great location, great price, great residents, great place. Just drive through for yourself, stop and ask people who live here. All of the residents are so nice.

Fantastic

Staff has always been super friendly, and the apartments are really nice. Very clean, the grounds are really beautiful, the pool is nice, and it is REALLY convenient to shopping and main roads.

Poor bookkeeping

anonymous

Resident • 2004 - 2005

Noisy

My biggest complaint after living here a year is noise. The celings are made out of thin plywood with carpet on the other side (well, it seems like it). Any movement tht neighbors make is amplified through the floor and sounds like thunder for those below. I'm not trying to be picky here but it is a serious problem! Also I don't feel that Amil is a good deal. Paying 800 a month to be woke up at five in the morning by people above me is not quite worth it. If you must move here my advice is get a top floor apartment. If I had one I probably would still be living here. Oh well. Other than thin floors and noise most everything was ok. Oh one other thing. My apartment had several large windows, while they look nice when you take a tour, are not insulated worth a crap so expect high energy bills in summer and winter.

Nicest Place In Town

By far this is the nicest place in town to live. I just moved in and the people are great.

Construction

The look of the apartments are wonderful, very nicely done except for the "DRAFTS" the patio doors and the windows are EXTREMELY drafty! If it weren´t for the plastic I put on the windows and additional door sealing I applied I would freeze to death! As for the smells coming in from the apartment next door that´s an entirely different story, I´m not a smoker but my neighbor is and I can smell the smoke in my kitchen cabinets and all through my apartment. Need thicker walls or better ventilation.

I am more than satisfied

Overall, AMLI is a nice facility. Lees Summit is a great place to live, and AMLI is well located. Parking is good and the grounds are clean. <br><br><br> <br><br><br>Noise isn´t usually a problem (I live on the ground floor, so I´m occasionally bothered by the passing motorcycle or kids in the street.) <br><br><br> <br><br><br>Staff is sufficient and friendly. Had some minor problems with them at first, but helpful overall. <br><br><br> <br><br><br>The apt itself was brand new when I moved in, but there was some paint spots on the carpet, some cracks in the ceiling, railing on patio was falling off. Paint is cheap and will come off if you try to clean the walls. I HATE that. But outside of a few minor details, the apartment is nice and very liveable.
