    We've lived at CityView for over ten years and love our apartment. It's a beautiful place, with lots of green space and very pet friendly. The managers and staff are pleasant and helpful. They've always worked closely with us to resolve any issues. CityView is convenient to restaurants, entertainment, and services in North Kansas City. We highly recommend this apartment complex for those looking north of the river.
