Truman Farm Villas sits at 5300 Harry Truman Drive in Grandview, Kansas City, and serves as a senior apartment community for people aged 55 and older, and what stands out is they've got both one and two-bedroom units, plenty of space with up to 950 square feet, and you get two bathrooms in those larger apartments, which makes things a lot easier if company comes over for a visit or if you just like your privacy, you know, and there's a total of 200 apartments across the property, so there's a fair number of neighbors to meet but not too many that you'd feel crowded. They pay for water, trash, and sewer, which can help save money, and the units all have all-electric kitchens, dishwashers, garbage disposals, and refrigerators included, so you won't have to worry about buying big appliances, and in some apartments, you'll find carpeted floors, private patios or balconies, vaulted ceilings, walk-in closets, and extra storage, which is handy if you can't part with some boxes or holiday decorations. The property is pet-friendly but they've got breed and weight restrictions, plus you'll need to pay a refundable deposit and a monthly pet rent if you want to bring a dog or cat.
The building's designed to support seniors with disability access in select units, elevators, and wide common areas, so folks who use wheelchairs or walkers can get around easier, and air conditioning keeps the apartments comfortable in the summer. They also have washer and dryer connections in-unit if doing laundry at home is important, and there's street parking for visitors or another car. If you're someone who likes to be outside when the weather's nice, there's a picnic area with barbecue grills and landscaping that's tended to, plus public parks close by, and there's a swimming pool for relaxing or maybe joining a water exercise group, along with a fitness center that's got equipment for different activity levels. The clubhouse and community room give space for group activities and planned events, and there's a schedule of regular activities to help residents keep busy and meet each other.
For help with changing needs, they offer a range of care options like independent living, assisted living, respite care, memory care for folks who have memory-related needs, and continuing care for people who want to stay in the same place even as their care requirements change, and there are home care and nursing home services available too. Security services and accessibility features help people feel comfortable and safe. The apartments were built in 1998, and the whole place covers about 158,960 square feet, so there's lots of room to walk around. If you visit, you can schedule a tour, meet staff, see the community map, check out available units, and get a feel for the grounds, clubhouse, and other features firsthand, and they do have detailed reports on things like occupancy, rent history, and property details if you want to dig deeper.
Utilities like water and sewer come with the rent, so that's less to keep track of each month, and the common areas include picnic spots, a clubhouse, elevators, and easy access to local shopping and freeways, which makes getting out and about in Kansas City easier. Storage is available for those who need extra space, and the whole setup is made for comfort and function, with simple details like breakfast bars, mini blinds, and building maintenance taken care of. Residents can meet others during events or tours, and each apartment offers a mix of privacy and community if that's what you're after, with options for different care needs as time goes on.
