Residences at Park Place raises the bar on rental living

For the last several years, the southern Leawood area has continued to grow and thrive as a desirable place to live, work, shop and enjoy a wide array of recreational and entertainment options. The influx of new business entities and corporate offices means that more people will be moving into the area.

Although most residential areas in Leawood are single-family homes, few new rental communities offer the amenities and comfort of an upscale home, with the convenience of a lock-and-leave lifestyle as The Residences at Park Place.

Located just north of Town Center at 115th and Nall, The Residences at Park Place features 177 spacious one-, two- and three-bedroom loft, mid-rise and townhome apartment homes.

The residences are highlighted by stainless steel appliances, granite or quartz countertops, wood/granite or steel-plated kitchen islands, sleek front panel cabinetry with satin nickel or bronze hardware, glass tile backsplashes, and, depending on the unit, residences will also have their own courtyard, patio and/or balcony. The lofts and townhomes also come with a gas stove and gas-burning fireplace, while the apartments and townhomes are equipped with full-size washers and dryers.

Community amenities include a luxurious salt water swimming pool, a relaxing outdoor cabana and gas grilling area, a fire pit, a two-level wellness center and sauna with personal trainer and massage options, a laptop lounge, a latte lounge, an expansive party room with a full kitchen, a sports/game room, a media room/theater, an executive conference room, a storm shelter and parking in a designated, controlled-access underground parking lot with direct elevator access.

Another factor that attracts the “renter by choice” residents here is the ability to enjoy a hassle-free, truly pedestrian lifestyle where they are literally a few steps right outside of their front door from a bevy of restaurants, activities, movies, shopping and other lifestyle amenities.

Great dining and light fare and beverage options include Pig and Finch, Pickleman’s Gourmet Cafe, 801 Chophouse, t. Loft, RA Sushi and Parisi Café, while Dazzle Pawz, Romanelli Sun Galleria, and Hand + Land are among the one-of-a-kind retail offerings.

Personal care services like The Gents Place, Michael Shae Salon & Day Spa, and The Bar Method; Barkley Square, a community green space; and a wide array of year-round activities including a family-friendly summer concert series and an annual street fair also draw folks from both The Residence at Park Place and others living and working in the surrounding area.

The community is also walking distance from great restaurants, a movie theater and shopping at Town Center and Town Center Crossing. Additionally, residents here enjoy easy and close access to many major highways, banks, medical centers, grocery stores and other major retailers.

Leasing has been at a brisk pace and a limited number of units remain. For more information about The Residences at Park Place contact the leasing office at 913-317-5155 or check out the website at www.liveparkplaceleawood.com.
