    Dirty complex; rude management, unreliable

    I visited a friend here. The residents and front-line staff are friendly and maintenance workers try hard, but the complex smells, public areas are dirty (sticky floors, mold in many units) and housekeeping is poor. Management is the worst I've seen - arrogant, condescending, blames residents and seems to understaff upkeep. Good location and affordable, but I wouldn't recommend it.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is mixed but leans negative, dominated by recurring concerns about management, cleanliness, and building upkeep. Multiple reviewers praise individual staff members—particularly maintenance workers—and point out practical positives such as location and affordability. However, numerous comments about persistent unpleasant odors, mold, dirty public spaces, and what reviewers describe as poor or even negligent management create a strong pattern of dissatisfaction that outweighs the positive notes for many reviewers.

    Staff: Reviews consistently distinguish between frontline staff and management. Frontline employees are frequently described as friendly and helpful; maintenance workers receive particular praise for being "very good." These positive comments suggest that some staff are responsive and capable when present. In contrast, management is a recurring source of complaint. Several reviewers describe management (including an onsite manager and an assistant manager) as rude, condescending, arrogant, or the "worst I've ever seen." There are specific allegations that management dismisses or blames resident complaints rather than addressing them. This sharp split between competent frontline staff and poor management is one of the clearest patterns in the reviews.

    Facilities, cleanliness, and maintenance: The physical condition of the property is a major concern. Multiple reviewers report strong and pervasive smells, poor public housekeeping, dirty common areas (for example, a sticky floor in the ladies' room), and mold present in many apartments. At the same time, some reviewers note clean facilities and that there are no insect problems. Maintenance staff are described as good but understaffed, suggesting that while maintenance workers strive to address issues, there may not be enough personnel or resources to keep up with the property's needs. Several reviews characterize the overall upkeep as "horrible" or neglected, indicating systemic problems rather than isolated incidents.

    Management and operations: Management-related problems are a dominant theme. Beyond rudeness and arrogance, reviewers report that complaints are frequently deflected back onto residents rather than being effectively resolved. Terms like "sham" and "poor management" recur, implying deeper administrative or organizational issues. The combination of understaffing (in maintenance and possibly housekeeping) and perceived dismissive or hostile management behavior contributes to an impression of neglect and lack of accountability. These issues are consistently flagged as the main drivers of resident dissatisfaction.

    Location, value, and community: Several reviewers emphasize positive aspects of the location—proximity to a grocery store and a library—and describe the property as offering good value, especially as low-income or affordable housing. The resident community is described positively in places (“nice people”), and some visitors report acceptable or friendly interactions when visiting friends. These positives indicate that for people prioritizing location and affordability, the property has attractive features despite the operational and cleanliness problems.

    Dining and activities: Review summaries do not provide information about dining services or organized activities. No reviewers mentioned meals, an onsite dining program, or recreational programming, so no conclusions can be drawn about those aspects from the provided summaries.

    Notable patterns and overall impression: The most consistent and significant patterns are (1) a clear split between competent, appreciated front-line staff (notably maintenance) and poorly regarded management; (2) repeated reports of cleanliness issues—bad odors, mold, sticky/dirty common areas—and public housekeeping that appears inadequate; and (3) limited capacity to address problems, suggested by comments about understaffing and neglect. While the property offers tangible advantages in location, affordability, and some helpful staff, persistent management failures and building-condition concerns are the dominant themes and likely the primary drivers of dissatisfaction among residents and visitors.

    About Overland Towers Apartments

    Overland Towers Apartments sits in a quiet area and has both assisted living and independent living options so people can get a type of care that matches their needs, and you find a lot of services like help with daily activities, medication management, meals, personal care, and even respite care for short-term relief if a caregiver needs a break, and inside the building you'll find simple things that make life a bit easier like a prescription or grocery delivery service, bus transportation, parking for residents, a nice outdoor patio where you can sit and look at the sun, a residents' lobby with a television and stereo, vending machines, a common area with a kitchen for gatherings, and a staff that keeps the apartments clean and comfortable, and people can join in on club activities or just enjoy visiting with others who live there and share similar backgrounds and stories, and the place is managed by Young Management Corporation, who has a caring management team on site. There's support for memory care, skilled nursing, and help for people with complex needs, even rehabilitation and wound care, and those who need more medical help can stay too. Seniors can age in place-meaning they don't have to move as their health needs change-and there are apartments in different types, some for people who want to stay independent and join in resort-style activities, and others for people who might need more medical attention. The apartments serve as affordable housing and are part of a group that includes other names like Santa Fe Towers Apartments and Safari West, so there's a bit of a community feel across local properties, and Overland Towers itself is near spots like Roe 107, Corbin Crossing, and The Sovereign at Overland Park. People who live there can use a TTY communication option if they need it, and the place tries to be safe and comfortable. The maintenance staff works on keeping things in good shape, and there are board and care homes for small groups as well as larger communities with all levels of care, kind of like a step-by-step system as people's health changes over time. Residents can shop among over 15,000 products, get guaranteed approval for certain purchases, and enjoy shopping discounts with subscription programs, and while there's a unique focus on skincare education and products-like a regimen finder, blogs, professional guides, and lots of information on ingredients and skincare solutions-the main thing is that Overland Towers Apartments gives people a place to get the help they need but also have some independence, comfort, and a bit of community to go along with their daily lives.
