Thank you

I love my apartment, the staff is incredibly helpful and the neighbors are wonderful! Community includes convenient shops and restaurants too!!

You will feel like in your on a resort. This place is absolutely beautiful. The swimming poolarea looks winderful. Big screen outdoor tv, lounge chairs, grills and nice landscaping! The apartment homes are nice and spacious great floor plans, granite countertops and an island in the kitchen!

This area is near to plaza and UMKC college campus.

The parking has many blind spot. They should fix the parking problems soon. I hit my car when I was coming out because of the blind spot. My friend that lives there, told me that everyone hits the wall because they can't see it. If the problem is on going, they have to fix it. I've send them an email about it, but never heard back.

Really fun neighborhood and very accommodating folks work here. Happy

Though it charges luxury prices, 51 Main is far from a luxury, or even adequate, apartment complex. Some of the five star reviews on here are from previous employees. Though it looks pretty from the outside, the building is very poorly constructed. If I go ten minutes without hearing some type of disruptive noise, I'm shocked. You can hear EVERYTHING your upstairs neighbor does, and it sounds like elephants are walking around up there and like furniture is constantly being moved, despite the fact that the person living above me is actually very respectful and cautious of noise. Additionally, at least once each week, I am woken up by drunk neighbors coming home at 2-3 am with large groups of friends, screaming and laughing in the hallways. There is also a family that lives on my floor that allows their children to ride Razor scooters through the halls of the apartment complex. This continues to occur even after management supposedly talked to them about the issue. If that's not enough, I am also woken up by noises from my own apartment due to the aforementioned poor construction as well as faulty piping. These noises range from water-rushing sounds to a series of loud pops and knocks. These sounds occur throughout the day as well.

Due to the design of the building, noise from the pool/courtyard carries and is incredibly disruptive, especially on weekends, when pool attendance is high. This problem is made worse by the fact that management fails to enforce their own rules, so residents get away with blasting music from stereos and throwing parties with 80+ people that warrant the cops getting involved. Also, the courtesy officer has never responded to any of my messages regarding noise complaints, nor has emergency maintenance responded when water came rushing into my apartment during storms (described below).

Further, a leak occurred in my coat closet, destroying hundreds of dollars worth of textbooks (as well as wall decor and luggage) the first week of classes this past school year. I had to fight tooth and nail to get management (the previous management company, EPC Real Estate) to reimburse me for the damage THEY caused. During this conversation, I was met with extreme attitude and multiple complaints from Jessica Pipes, the property manager, regarding her job, her own life, and how little sleep she gets. On the topic of water damage, during a storm, water came about ten feet into my FOURTH FLOOR apartment and kept coming in as I tried to wipe up the water with towels. What's worse is that this happened AGAIN, a few weeks later, because, as was confirmed by the maintenance employee who responded to my request the second time, the employee who was supposed to fix the issue after the first incident did not do a thing! In addition, despite maintenance attempting to fix the issue, showers were freezing after five minutes during the winter months.

Speaking of maintenance, the average response time for maintenance requests is around a week, during which time I call the office about twice, each time being told maintenance is "on their way up" to my apartment; clearly, that isn't the case. In addition, I have to spend around half an hour (sometimes more) cleaning up messes left by the maintenance team (they even used and ruined some of my personal cleaning supplies).

I will say that the new management/maintenance company is better than EPC (it's hard to imagine what could be worse), but that doesn't solve the problems caused by a poorly constructed building, inconsiderate neighbors, or unresponsive after-hours services. Unless you enjoy awful customer service, being woken up in the middle of the night, constant noise, and water damage, please save your money and rent somewhere else.

Staff is very friendly, helpful, efficient and informative. The location is perfect for shopping, dining, exercise and entertaining.
The apt configuration and size along with large
closets and balconies are the best for comfortable living!

The internet is super fast because it's Google Fiber!!!:-)

Was great now it's just good and barely. Lots of millennials and retirees. Not an even mix of either. The millennial are socially awkward and the retirees are in their own realm as well. Not a lot of community interactivity.

Great location south of the Plaza! Top notch service!

Seems to be a nice area. I am working on a restaurant in the area.

I have been fortunate to be able to call this wonderful apartment complex my home for the past 5 years. A few perks - Great location, nice amenities and kind community members!

I love living at 51Main! The staff if very responsive, the maintenance team is beyond helpful, and the amenities are fantastic. And not to mention it's the ideal location - the best block in KC!

I was doing work as a contractor for 51 Main. I had the pleasure of working with Mike, the maintenance supervisor, as well as the office staff. They were super helpful the whole time I was working on the property and always willing to lend a hand. You ve got a bunch of great employees!
