<table> </table> Lemor Estates Garden Apartments provide residents aged 55-plus carefree living with nearby conveniences and on-site activities, according to the marketing team.</p><p>The maintenance-provided neighborhoods of Lemor Estates offer a thoughtfully planned balance for retirement-aged parents and their children&#8217;s families, according to property manager Terri Brown.</p><p>&#8220;Quite a few of our residents are not from this area &#8212; their children have encouraged them to relocate here,&#8221; Brown said. &#8220;By living closer, they will be able to help them as they grow older and need some supervision but are still able to live unassisted.&#8221;</p><p>All Lemor Estates apartments are designed by Sunday-Kreisel Homes for single-level, step-free, handicap-accessible living. Residents also have access to meal and housekeeping services for an additional fee.</p><p>The one-bedroom units lease for $715 a month and the two-bedroom units lease for $865 a month. The security deposit is $250. Pets are permitted with an additional pet deposit. Included in the monthly rent are water, cable television, trash service, and snow and ice removal. Lemor Estates is a &#8220;total electric&#8221; community, which provides residents with a significant costs savings on electric utilities.</p><p>Residents enjoy use of the community building, which was the recent scene of a birthday celebration that included a formal dinner for 50 guests. The community building also serves as the community severe weather shelter. Brown is working with residents to develop a variety of programs of interest to the community, many of which may be hosted at the community building.</p><p>The Raymore Parks and Recreation Department is expected soon to begin construction of the walking trails that were approved by voters in April. The trail system will include a route through the Lemor Estates subdivision, where wildlife is frequently seen. The trees that line the creekway will remain, providing a permanent sense of &#8220;country living,&#8221; Brown said.</p><p>Another convenience for residents of Lemor Estates is its proximity to Wal-Mart, Brown said. The nearby store can be reached without driving through heavy traffic. Other shopping options, restaurants, churches and medical facilities are within a short drive in Raymore and Belton, and the community is minutes from major highways.</p><p>&#9632; <strong> Contact </strong> : Terri Brown, property</p><p>manager, 816-322-6543 or 816-585-6225,</p><p>or send e-mail to</p><p><a href="mailto:lemorestates@comcast.net">lemorestates@comcast.net</a>.</p><p>&#9632; <strong> Web </strong> : <a href="http://www.LemorEstates.com">www.LemorEstates.com</a>.
