    This apartment is located in a wonderful area. Has great parking and there are plenty of amenities that come with renting here. The maintenance people are always quick to arrive and very friendly.

    5/5 Lorena M. on Jun 22, 2023

    I love living at Frontier West, it is an amazing place to live! The apartment has a nice style, is great in size and the appliances are new. Also, the maintenance is always done fast when we need it and the fact that it has elevators helps a lot during the moving and daily when we come home from the grocery store carrying heavy bags or the baby stroller. The building halls and the condo sidewalks are always clean. I love that there is a KU bus stop in front of it and it's very close to Walgreens and Dillons.

This vibrant small town offers renters a plethora of activities to choose from year-round. From a state-of-the-art art center featuring exhibits, performances, and arts education for individuals of all ages to a thriving nightlife, you’ll never run out of occasions to leave your rental apartment for the night. Plus, renters with young children will appreciate the excellent public school system, while retirees coming from more expensive parts of the country can stretch their retirement dollars further by taking advantage of the cost of living here that’s slightly below the national average. However, renters would be wise to lock the doors to your rental apartment and your car at night and stay aware of your surroundings.
