Raleigh Arms is a residential property located in Kansas City, Missouri, US, at Kansas City, MO 64109. It offers apartments primarily in 2-bedroom (2b) configurations, with a monthly price range of $1,320 to $1,390 (indicative — confirm with the operator). The property is tagged as having a study area and laundry facility, indicating basic amenities for student or young professional tenants. According to the data, the property has a Google rating of 4.0 based on 4 reviews, though only three reviews are recorded in the dataset. The property is situated within a city where the average “from price” for student housing is $745 per month, positioning Raleigh Arms at a significantly higher price point. There are 33 student housing properties recorded in Kansas City overall, giving renters a range of options at various levels.
Who This Residence Suits
Raleigh Arms may suit tenants who prioritize responsive, on-site maintenance and a proactive management team. The two positive reviews from Mallory Smith and Hannah Heim both highlight the helpfulness and professionalism of maintenance staff — Leroy and Tucker. If you value quick repairs and a landlord who follows through, this property appears to deliver on that front. The presence of a study area is also a plus for anyone who needs a dedicated space to work or study outside their apartment.
The property offers units with 2 bedrooms (2b) and generic “apartment” types, making it a possible fit for small groups — two roommates sharing a 2-bedroom, or a single tenant who can afford the higher monthly cost. The laundry facility adds convenience for longer stays. The location in Kansas City, MO 64109, is a residential area that may be close to local amenities, though specific universities are not listed in the data.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
The single 1-star review from Olivia L should not be ignored: “Two words: German Cockroaches Live ones in the apartment on move in day. I slept in my car and gave the keys back the next morning. NO. THANK. YOU.” This is a strong warning about possible pest issues at move-in. If you have zero tolerance for insects or have allergies, you may want to verify the property’s current pest control practices before committing. The review is from a single tenant, but the presence of such a serious complaint suggests that quality control upon move-in could be inconsistent.
Furthermore, the pricing — $1,320–$1,390 per month — is well above the city’s “from price” of $745. For budget-conscious tenants or those looking for the most affordable options, Raleigh Arms may not be the best fit. It is among the higher-end options in Kansas City based on this data. Individuals looking for a studio or 1-bedroom may also need to check availability, as the property only lists 2-bedroom and “apartment” unit types.
Price Positioning in Kansas City
Kansas City’s lowest monthly price among student housing properties is $745, according to the data. Raleigh Arms starts at $1,320 — approximately 77% higher. The maximum listed price is $1,390. This puts the property in the upper tier of the local market. There are 33 properties in the city, so renters have alternatives at lower price points. The price difference may be partially justified by the property’s specific amenities (study area, laundry facility) and its location, but the data does not provide a detailed breakdown of comparable units. It is important to treat all prices as indicative — confirm with the operator before making any financial decisions.
Room Types and Booking Timing
The property offers two types of accommodation: “2b” (2-bedroom) and “apartment”. The data does not specify whether “apartment” refers to a studio or a different layout. Given the price range, the 2-bedroom units likely cost around $1,320–$1,390 per month total, which may be shared between two tenants — bringing the per-person cost to roughly $660–$695 per month if split equally. That would be below the city’s $745 from price, making it more competitive when shared. However, if a single tenant rents a 2-bedroom alone, the cost is high.
Booking timing: The data includes no “available from” date, so availability may be immediate or rolling. For the 2026–2027 academic year, if you are targeting a lease starting in June or August 2026, it is advisable to begin inquiries around early 2026. Properties like Raleigh Arms may have limited units; early booking can give you first pick. However, because a specific move-in date is not listed, call or message the property directly to confirm lease start options.
What Residents Say
Three reviews are available in the dataset, two positive and one very negative.
Mallory Smith (5 stars) writes: “Leroy is always so kind and helpful when I need maintenance done in my apartment. He is timely, communicative, and I know when I see him show up I will not have to call for the same issue twice.”
Hannah Heim (5 stars) writes: “Tucker is a great maintenance guy, he quickly installed my microwave and when i mentioned my shower curtain rod falling down a lot he immediately got me a new one. Friendly and professional.”
Olivia L (1 star) writes: “Two words: German Cockroaches Live ones in the apartment on move in day. I slept in my car and gave the keys back the next morning. NO. THANK. YOU.”
These reviews illustrate a split: maintenance staff generally receive high praise, but the condition of one unit upon move-in was unacceptable. Prospective tenants should ask the operator about current pest management and request a walkthrough before signing a lease.
H3: Is Raleigh Arms safe regarding pest control?
Based on the review from Olivia L, there has been at least one incident of cockroach infestation on move-in day. The property does not address this in the data. It is recommended to ask the operator directly about recent pest inspections and their guarantee for a clean unit.
H3: Can I rent a single room or only the whole apartment?
The property lists “2b” and “apartment” unit types. Typically, a 2-bedroom apartment is rented as a whole. Some student housing platforms allow individual room booking if the property participates. You must confirm with the operator whether they offer per-room leases or only whole-unit rentals.
H3: What is the lease length and when can I move in?
The data does not provide a minimum lease term or an available-from date. For the 2026–2027 academic year, contact the property well in advance. Standard leases are often 12 months, but shorter terms may be possible — ask the operator.
