Lawrence Overview

Apartment life in Lawrence, KS is absolutely astounding.

The outdoor scenery is simply stunning, looking out your window is like looking at a classical painting, it's just that beautiful.

Why live in Lawrence, KS?

"If you enjoy a rustic environment and gorgeous scenery, Lawrence is the place for you. Many parts of the city have that down-home ""historic"" feel to them that is so lacking in many other parts of the USA.
