Great Location not-so-great Maintenance
Moved in last year. Five minutes from work, good value for the space. Neighbors are very nice. Immediately had issues with appliances. Dishwasher not bolted in, window leaked, dryer heat element inefficient, air conditioning condenser leaked. Following maintence, the window leaked less, the dishwasher was bolted in, and within months it didn’t work. The AC unit continues to leak and the dryer is a gamble if the clothes will be dry after 2 cycles. After multiple requests for repairs and poor response, it is time to move. Best wishes to the next tennent.

Wish I moved here sooner
Management is on point. Casey and Krishanne run a phenomenal complex. Clean, gated, thick walls, pool, gym, maintenance is awesome, affordable, garage options, huge field for pets, park trail runs through the middle of the grounds right next to a creek. I was planning on buying a house until I moved here... now I don't want to leave. Lucky I signed up! Don't hesitate, move here.
Property Manager at Deer Creek Apartment Homes, Responded To This Review
We're happy you moved to Deer Creek as well! Thank you for the kind words. It is truly our privilege to provide you your home!

Lucky to live here
I have lived here for over 4 years. Yesterday my garage door opener broke with my car in the garage. I called the office and the manager, Keith answered the phone. He said he would get someone right out. I was taking my granddaughter shopping. In less than 5 minutes Will was here and I was on my way. This is the kind of service I have come to expect. They don't always come right away, but when I need them they are there. Had a great time shopping with my granddaughter.
Property Manager at Deer Creek Apartment Homes, Responded To This Review
It was truly our pleasure to assist you. We are so happy you were able to still enjoy the day with your granddaughter. We are the lucky ones to have our residents live here. Thank you for calling us home!

This is no place to live
The paper thin walls, old construction, lack of updated appliances, and lived-in fixtures left much to be desired in my time renting here. Having a quiet living experience is not something you can achieve in these apartments. Whether it's loud neighbors, busy Metcalf 50 yards away, The lawn service which runs two days per week during the summer, or the trash collection which shows up at 7:00AM every other day, you will not find restful quiet. If you work from home then DO NOT consider this a place to set up home-base. Going with another internet provider besides the one they recommend also causes issues with management, and no matter what, you will pay a service charge for cable, even if you don't use their company and don't watch cable. Maintenance is constantly changing, so there's little to no accountability, and getting out of the lease was just as difficult as the living experience itself. Run, run far far away.
Property Manager at Deer Creek Apartment Homes, Responded To This Review

Keep Looking
Apartments are ok for the price, but be careful when renting to ask about neighbors. I had neighbors above me that would sleep all day then party all night. They also had a 100+ pound dog that would always run and cause trouble sleeping. Management very unresponsive and unwilling to help. Additionally, appliances are all Old and break constantly. Be prepared to constantly be waiting on repairs too.

Awful complex - unjustified charges
Everything constantly broke in my apartment and did not get fixed in appropriate time - my refrigerator broke multiple times after maintenance had worked on it and all my food spoiled. Air conditioning was broken for weeks blowing hot air and request for rent adjustment for it was denied. Received over $350 in unjustified charges after move out, after I already paid an $80 cleaning fee at move out. Please be cautious of this complex, especially the manager, while living here and at move out if you decide on this complex. I wish I never made the mistake of living here.

Great team!
I’ve lived here just over 30 day and so far it’s been very quiet with a friendly community feeling. When I was moving in, I needed a place fast.. Karin was patient, understanding, and responsive to my urgency to move in. Thank you Karin and staff for making it a smooth process.

Not What It Appears To Be
Hands down the worst apartment I’ve ever lived in. Paper thin walls, noisy neighbors, I can hear cars all throughout the day and night driving through the apartment complex. Parking is horrid. The GATE has not worked since I moved here (6 months ago)... I don’t know why we pay extra for a gated community and it doesn’t work. They sent everyone a notice saying it would be fixed on said day, however it has not been. The next week we get another paper in our doors stating they would be raising Lock out fees from $30 to $60 due to “grounds maintenance”. (Yet still not closing fence. My kitchen floor has a small hole in it from previous residents and just so much more. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

Best Apartment Complex we have ever lived in!
Deer Creek Apartment Homes is the best apartment complex we have ever lived in. Management and maintenance take pride in this complex. Everything is always taken care of in a timely manner. We appreciate the care to detail and service this complex exhibits. This apartment complex feels like a neighborhood with the way it is set up with the streets and driveways and community events. Thank you Deer Creek!

Mice/Insects/Spiders and not great service....
We have been living at Deer Creek for around 9 months and have not had the best of service. The apartment complex itself is very nice, and it's a great area. However, our apartment has a serious mice problem as well as insects and spiders. The service is also not the best. There have been numerous occasions where we called for a service request with no response or update back. After calling multiple times, we were told they do not see a previous service request was ever submitted. In the last week alone, we have caught 3 mice with our own traps that we set. After a few complaints, the management sent a maintenance guy to put in 2 or 3 glue traps which has not done anything. We also had a pest control guy come and he said there are probably holes in the walls behind the counters/cabinets. The management did not follow up to let us know if they will actually do anything about it. Everything in our pantry has holes in it where the mice have clearly been chewing through stuff. We have an infant baby also so more action from management would be appreciated to resolve the issue. We also see many spiders and other insects in the apartment. We are thankful we are moving out of state and will no longer have to deal with the issue in a few weeks, but be wary of moving in.

Great apartments!
I've had a great experience living at Deer Creek. It has been my favorite apartment complex to live in while i've been in Kansas City. The only reason I'm leaving is because I've been relocated to California for a job! I was supposed to move into another complex but when I arrived to move in the unit reeked of smoke! They gave me only two options which were to deal with it or don't move in. I had one day to find an apartment and I called around to a ton of properties in the area. When I got ahold of someone at Deer Creek they were so helpful and friendly and even started calling around to other properties through their management company to help me find a place. The service was so great that I decided to go with them even though they were a little out of my price range. I was so glad I made this decision. The staff has been so helpful with my transition and any time i've needed maintenance they have come by in a reasonable time span. I'm going to miss living at these apartments and if I ever move back to KC I will definitely be back!

Good location, old apartments
The leasing staff is very nice when they are trying to get you in the door. After living here many years, it's just become frustrating dealing with them. They often say they'll get back with you and never follow up. The staff seems to come and go often. Maintenance is always overwhelmed with requests so it takes several days to get anyone in here. They never want to replace anything, even when it needs replaced. When something finally gets replaced, it's very cheap. The rent goes up every year even though there are newer, more upscale apartments everywhere around. The pool is nice and the trails around here are nice but the actual apartments feel cheap. Nothing in this place feels luxury. With an unhelpful staff and aging apartments with increasing prices, I would not recommend this place. The appliances are old, the carpet is old, everything feels old in here. Also, the utility bill during the winter is outrageous. The windows are not double pane and they leave screens in all year. This is why my electric bill is approx. $150 during the winter for the smallest apartment here.

Be Very Careful
We went to look at Deer Creek Apts upon moving to the Overland Park area. When we arrived, the grounds by the office were well groomed with lots of trees. We went in the office and were greeted by a leasing agent that took us to a beautiful well-decorated model apt that had new and clean carpet. After the viewing we went back to the office and before we signed lease, we wanted to make sure our apt would have new carpet. The agent said it would because the renter had been in the unit we wanted for 8 years, and carpet is replaced every 7 years. On move-in day we arrived with our belongings and the agent tried to sign us up without looking at the unit; however, we insisted on looking at the unit first. The entrance was down a dark, dirty outdoor entry with children's toys laying in front of the door. When we entered it had that older, strong over-painted smell. The carpets were filthy with permanent stains and what looked like black mold by the base boards. Also, the kitchen counter had been used as a cutting board. The unit was different than the model we looked at and when we asked the agent about the carpet she said it had been replaced 3 years ago - no way! She said we could replace it for $300 - as a matter of principle, that would not work. Concerning our $250 deposit, the contract stated only $100 was not refundable, but we waited 3 weeks with no refund at all. We then received a letter stating the $150 balance was kept for administrative costs. Administrative costs?? Just be very careful! Do not sign any document with them until you have seen the exact unit you are getting and know that any deposit you leave will not be returned. Make absolutely sure what you are getting, and it would be smart to record your conversation with the agent. I repeat: do not sign anything or put $$ down until you've seen the unit.

Deer Creek Apartments - Overland Park KS
I have lived in the complex for 11 years. The apartments are old. For the most part they are quiet. It depends on your neighbors and luck of the draw. The neighborhood is quiet and nice. There is a trail from the complex to a a larger bike/walking trail. The trail is next to a golf club. I don't know much about the club because I do not play golf. There are a number of shops and restaurants within two miles. My biggest gripe is that is is a fenced complex. I find it annoying and it really doesn't provide much security. People can piggyback or just walk in. Many times the gates don't even work and are wide open. So why bother with them? You have a fob that is used to open the gate. Rent is on par with the many other complexes in the area. I cannot speak on how friendly management is because I rarely ever speak to them. The maintenance people are fine, but they do not give you much time to answer the door if you place a call or they need to do regular maintenance. They will knock once, wait maybe a few seconds and open the door. The reasons I am moving are: I no longer need a roommate, I want to live in a more expensive place to simulate costs if I were to move to the west coast, I am ready for a change, and I would like fiber (currently cable and Internet is cable) Internet.

More like a home
My husband and I looked at ten apartment communities before deciding on Deercreek. These apartments are truly more like a home. We live in a two bedroom apartment that has large windows, lots of light, plenty of room in the kitchen and has a huge (16 x 8) patio that is surrounded by trees so it looks as though we are out in the country. The landscaping is beautiful and well-maintained. The two pools are great with plenty of room for sunbathing, swimming and tables and chairs for eating or visiting. Great workout facility, concierge, free carwash and beautiful clubhouse. The architecture in the entire community is beautiful. Plenty of parking space unlike other places we have lived. Staff is friendly and very helpful. We are super happy with our new community and plan to stay. Janie O, Overland Park KS

Deer Creek Apartments is Amazing
The leasing staff is awesome. I was able to tour a unit almost exact to mine to make a sound decision that I could live here. The amenities of the on site gym w/free training classes, clubhouse with resident activities, and pool are well worth the price. Quite neighbors and staff handles any maintenance issues promptly. I could rent here forever.
