Century Towers markets itself as "luxury apartments." As a former tenant of the building, I'd like to commend the building for living up to its luxury standard.
Amenities are always a big selling point for most renters. Century Towers offers a coffee bar that is never restocked, a mini mart where you'd be better off going out to grab things, and a gym full of dangerous, busted equipment. The building also offers two elevators, though if you live in the upper floors, be prepared to get your... cardio in when one or both elevators break.
Do you like little critters? You'll get a bunch at Century Towers! Critters include roaches, mice, and rats that management will ignore, letting these little fellas stay in your home rent-free.
While the site doesn't include any permanent water features, Century Towers has cascading waterfalls in nearly every window. You can count on standing water in a windowsill accented by black mold anytime it rains.
Century Towers also offers a gated parking lot and fob entry into the building. The guard shack at the entry gate is self-service with no security present. This is probably why there were a series of break-ins to cars and property damage. Tenants pay a monthly parking fee meant for the upkeep of the parking lot, a fee that is going to use based on the many potholes. That's ok because tenants that pay to have their car parked in the lot can have their car towed at any time if management deems it too ugly or "broken down."
I would be remiss to not acknowledge the management team of the building. The issue is, I don't know who to thank, as management is a rotating door with a new team seemingly every six months. Any issues brought to the on-site management team can be expected to be dealt with in four to seven business weeks. Once maintenance comes to fix your issue, expect yourself to be blamed for the issue and not the 25 year old appliances and equipment.
Overall, Century Towers is a lovely place to live with beautiful crumbling walls, lovely mold blooms, and interactive wildlife. Read More

This place has MOLD. ROACHES. BAD MANAGEMENT.

They will fine you for false and fabricated reasons. They are being taken to court by many people. The bad reviews are only just starting. People have had their cars stolen, broken into. They thrive on being close to the school and taking advantage of new students. Your life will be harder here. There are no benefits to this place. The laundry machines are constantly full of wet fur, never cleaned and over half are broken so there's always a line....

Do not live here. Read More

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY HERE!

To start off the property is absolutely filthy. The lobby and 5th floor are the only floors that get regular cleaning. There is dog waste all over the property. Trash cans are always overflowing with trash everywhere. There are plenty of roaches and I’ve even encountered a rat early morning on my way through the lobby.

Things are always broken from the washer and dryers, printer, equipment in the gym, the gates, and elevators so good luck if you live on... the 10th floor like I did.

The property also has A LOT OF SAFETY CONCERNS! There are random people sleeping by the dumpsters, and even sometimes in the lobby. It’s unclear if their actually is security because they don’t do anything but sit in their cars. There has been instances when dozens of cars had been broken into and some even stolen.

The package System is absolutely terrible. There is no package room. Packages are thrown into the lobby. Or just not delivered if the leasing office is not open. So you are only able to pick up you package in those hours. So you are SOL if you need your package during the weekend or if you are working 12 hour shifts.

Honestly the only good thing about living there was it was very convenient to get to UMKC’s campus but I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND. Read More

Used to be a nice place for med students to live but now it’s horrendous. It’s gross (they rarely ever clean) has roaches, and something’s always breaking (elevator, gate, washing machines). Also every year they randomly increase fees even though nothing has improved.
