Wichita apartment - looking for recommendations


Asked 188 days ago

Seeking comments and opinions on what you think is the best place to rent in Wichita.

Important factors for me are security (no vandalism, so gated is a preference), proximity to WSU, and NO BUGS OR SPIDERS! (I can handle the occassional bug or spider - but no infestations, ewww!)

I've been reading the ratings here for Wichita and LaCrosse is at the top of my list but kinda expensive. Any other suggestions for apts/townhome like LaCrosse??

Hey Roy, I can tell you that I never saw a spider or bug in my apartment at LaCrosse unless I managed to leave the door open to my balcony while I was cooking. Some of the important factors for bug infestation to keep in mind are generally the age of the building, the cleanliness of the neighbors, pest control, and waste disposal. LaCrosse is a new building (built within the last 5 or 10 years), I haven't seen any trash just left out at the complex in front of doors or anything, they spray for bugs seasonally, and the trash bins are sealed so you don't have anything blowing about in the parking lot.

While I was living at LaCrosse I never heard of any incidents of vandalism and all of my vehicles were never touched. The apartment staff liked to send out reminders to keep valuables out of site inside your car and they assign parking passes to not just anyone can park there.

As far as proximity to WSU is concerned you are about 10 minutes away if you take K-96 and hit Hillside. Here is a link: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=370865337290847193,37.716187,-97.296737&saddr=3650+N+Woodlawn+St,+Wichita,+KS+67220&daddr=1845+Fairmount+St,+Wichita,+KS+67260 +(Wichita+State+University)&mra=pe&mrcr=0&sll=37.732882,-97.279556&sspn=0.066116,0.11673&ie=UTF8&ll=37.732847,-97.280674&spn=0.066116,0.11673&t=h&z=13

I only lived at LaCrosse so I can't suggest any other apartments. I liked there for 10 months and then I moved back home to Oklahoma but my wife and I were extremely happy at LaCrosse and the extra money was worth it.

I live at the Villas of Waterford. Living on the first floor, I expected to see more bugs that the upper floors, but I've been impressed--I haven't had a problem yet! I also know the staff here would take care of bug problems if they came up.

As for security, the Villas of Waterford complex isn't quite as secure, as the gates stay open for a long time after cars go through, but I definitely feel safe here, and things are pretty quiet!

If you're looking at LaCrosse, I would definitely look at the Villas of Waterford as well. I looked at both when deciding where to live, and both of them are among the nicer places to live in Wichita.

Thank you, your feedback is appreciated!

My wife, daughter and I were given a showing of the complex at LaCrosse and toured their 2 BR model the other day. I must say we were very impressed. Their 2 month waiting list says alot about the place. We haven't toured Villas at Waterford but we will check it out.

Thanks again!
