How's the Plaza area now? I'd live down there if I moved back.

I just moved from that area, homeowner though. And lol at any overweight recluse that wouldn't want to live there. Anyway, you can find decent house rentals around the 50th area from Holmes to Harrison. Harrison is as far east as I would go if you stay in the 50s. When I went to UMKC, I lived as far north as Armour Blvd. Check apartments down Warwick all the way to Armour, best time of my life.
Keep in mind that I live in Chicago now so I have a penchant for danger. |

A few blocks make a huge difference around there. If you want to live near campus, there are many good neighborhoods quite close, with a variety of levels of risk. It is a city. There is risk anywhere, but people have different levels of tolerance for it, and the costs will follow that generally. If you want a suburban type neighborhood close by, perhaps Fairway on the Kansas side. It is pretty sleepy, but the price tag is higher. 10 minutes at the most.
If you want a big house for your money and have a city comfort level, the aforementioned zone by KCUnited has some really amazing houses, and yes there are gunshots and helicopters from time to time, but the whole neighborhood is well connected on Facebook and doing a good job of working together to be as safe as possible. 5 minutes at the most. |

Probably a no go on the house thing for various reasons. (But thanks for offering to help, GoChiefs.) I'd like to keep my rent within $1000 unless there's a ton of stuff included in on that cost.

For frame of reference, I've been overpaying at $650 in Springfield.

Generally speaking, staying west of UMKC campus is "safer". Lots of apartments around the Plaza. The state line is only about a mile or two west of UMKC, and there's a bunch of housing around KU Med center too (roughly 39th St and State Line Rd). If you drew a line from KU Med to UMKC, areas around that line would be where I'd focus.

BTW, on the Kansas side the Roeland Park and Mission areas might work for you. They're a little further into Kansas than Fairway, but probably cheaper rentals in a nice area. Probably a 15 minute, very easy drive to UMKC |
