Lawrence Overview

Apartment life in Lawrence, KS is absolutely astounding. Many of the more historic buildings provide a rustic feel to them that makes them feel more like a home than an apartment, but you still get the convenience of apartment life. Some apartments even feature brick interiors, which is something you don't see in most cities around the US. 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. The art scene is also alive and well in Lawrence, so if you're seeking a more artistic lifestyle, this is the place for you. And being just a short distance away from Kansas City, you'll have a quick commute to the big city while not having to actually reside there."
