Located along the Kansas River and known for its cheerful tulips, Topeka is a Midwestern gem that combines a busy, bustling downtown -- this is the capital city of Kansas and the seat of Shawnee County, after all -- with the natural beauty of the prairie. Topeka is also a college town, home to Washburn University -- a public university established in 1865.
Founded in 1854, Topeka has long played an important role in US history. It was an important part of the Oregon Trail, with a ferry located in Topeka that helped the travelers cross the river. The Brown v. Board of Education, a court ruling that ended public school segregation in 1954, involved a school in Topeka, and today the Brown v. Board of Education Historic Site features galleries, special exhibits, and tours.

Best maintenance in Town
I just would like to say that the overlook Apartment has the best maintenance team. I would like to especially give mad praise to Wes he went above and beyond to fix my garage door. Also I think they have the greatest management staff in Topeka.

AMAZING place to live
Everything about this place is amazing. The ladies upfront are so SWEET, and helpful. They are very upfront about costs, leasing policies, and answer any questions that I have. There is a monthly newsletter that gives updates about any events/ things that are going on in the complex. The maintenance guys are GREAT. They are so nice, and very efficient. The unit itself is spacious and modern. Great amenities, including the pool and gym. It's a wonderful location with a beautiful view. 10/10 would recommend!

Great Place
The unit met my expectations based on the model shown. Parking is never a problem. Staff is friendly. Facilities/Gym are/is clean and well maintained. Monthly events and news is posted on the building entrance. Events are fun and engaging. I cannot come up with anything bad/negative to say.

Nice place to live
I've just resigned her for a third year, and having lived in all different types of rental apartments all over the country, I found this place to be one of the friendliest places by far. The apartment management folks are typically very responsive and helpful (with one or two rare exceptions, nothing major), and for the size of the apartments, very reasonably priced, especially in comparison to other places I've lived. The appliances could use a bit of updating, and the outside parking definitely needs improvement. Because several of the apartments are occupied by families owning more than one vehicle, they really should assigning one space, per apartment, per building, this way renters with only one vehicle are able to park in their assigned spot in front of or close to their building any time of day or night. This would improve both the safety and convenience of getting to and from your building and your vehicle. Overall, though, it's been a very lovely place to live.

HORRIBLE
I am shocked to read reviews indicating how helpful the staff was. Our experience was far different - they were rude, NEVER helpful and always seemed "put out" when we had a question. As for the apartment itself - the washer/dryer had rust on them, microwave had weird stain on it - and they were so so LOUD! They should have all been replaced a long time ago! The floors in our unit were so uneven that our bedroom drawers would slide open all the time. PS. We always paid our rent on time, and were good tenants.

Great place to live
I’ve had a great experience living here! They are always helpful with questions whether it be by email or phone, always fixed any problems I’ve had, and keep the sidewalks clear (in the winter) and pool clean (in the summer). Everyone I’ve come in contact with while living here has been super friendly and helpful.

Scam
Do your research before considering the Overlook Apartments. Unfortunately we didn’t dig as deep as we should have. After being there for over a year with rent always paid on time they made the moving out process and process there after completely miserable. They denied talking to our future landlord until we gave them a date we would move out, unlike all the other landlords who were able to recommend us. Instead they drag out the entire process, we didn’t know if we were approved for our house yet they made us give them a move out date and told us we would not be able to reclaim our apartment if it had been claimed. Basically, we would be homeless if we were denied our house cause they would have forced to move out. Next, the months after moving out. READ AROUND PLEASE! Multiple reviews show that after moving out the overlook will overcharge you for every nickel and dime! $15 or more for a lightbulb that didn’t match the set, cleaning things that were already clean, and much more will add to a big bill! They will overcharge and leave you with a huge bill! As far as living there goes, be prepared for the red carpet the first day. Everyone is nice and everything seems new. Then you realize the blinds fall every time you touch them, lights go out a week in, appliances work only half the time, and the place is actually outdated. The overlook is extremely over priced, maybe 10 years ago these prices made sense, but now? No. Way. Parking. Parking. Parking. There is 0 parking at anytime. Especially if you go out. Be prepared to park 5-7 buildings down and walk. Especially if you’re handicap, there are 2 spots only near the building. Bonus round: The buildings are locked from the outside, which sounds like a plus. But wait until there’s terrible weather and those doors shift and won’t open. Happened multiple times, for 8 months we couldn’t use the rear entrance to our building. During this time the front door lock broke! Leaving the residents who work late completely locked out! I had to place a sign on the door with my number saying to call me if they need in so I could leave my apartment and come down and open from the inside. This wasn’t resolved for days! And was a reoccurring issue. Please OVERLOOK the Overlook, move onto another place and read many reviews. I would not recommend this place to anyone, Topeka has way better and affordable places to live.

The Overlook Apartments - A Great Place to Call Home
Hello. I am coming up on my 1-year anniversary of being a resident at The Overlook Apartments. I just renewed my lease for the upcoming year and could not be happier. To celebrate the anniversary, I thought I would put together this review to share with others. Over the past year, the office staff has been fantastic. Gail, Amber and Kim have been extremely helpful. They are both courteous and knowledgeable. Having been new to Topeka, their knowledge and help were especially important and useful. It is a genuine pleasure when I stop by the office to talk. In addition to the office staff, the maintenance staff are second to none. With the few maintenance issues that I have experienced over the past year, most were addressed within twenty-four hours. That twenty-four-hour turnaround time includes even those items that I marked as low priority. As with the office staff, the maintenance staff are just as friendly and helpful. The upkeep of the property is something that I find especially appealing. They “run a tight ship” here and for that, I am especially thankful. This is my home and I respect the extra effort made to keep the property in the best condition possible. They maintain high standards and that is one of the most attractive aspects of living here. These high standards are readily evident from the individual units to the common areas across the community. The apartments are well appointed and the amenities are many. There are often community events held for the residents and these are great ways to get to know your neighbors and the surrounding area. Thanks again, Overlook, for a great year. Here’s to a great 2017/2018. Cheers.

Pathetic/rude Support staff
Rooms are good but the management and leasing support staff is pathetic. For everything they blame on the system which operates illogically. The calculation, revised room rent, charges, inaccurate monthly bills, illogical charges on vacating the room, all they try is to pull as much money as possible. Leasing support staff is rude and behave as if they are accommodating the customers in their personal rooms and not charging, the way they talk, the way they respond, unfortunately very unprofessional. The good thing about these apartments is they are clean, spacious and on Wanamaker Dr(close proximity to everything in Topeka). The attitude and approach of support staff needs to be corrected big time. Also, the illogical system which they use is due for revamp

Affordable Living- Topeka
I am very impressed with the Overlook, for the price, location and amenities in my personal opinion, this is the best complex in Topeka. I was concerned when reading the other reviews on this apartment complex (other sites), they complained about the staff being rude, and about noise complaints. However as two college students who had previously lived in a dorm, noise was not ever really a priority, just a concern. Once we were all moved in to the facility, it became evident that the area was really nice and that the location was the best in town. We live in a one bedroom apartment on the first floor and have noticed some problems that we have shared with the staff and all issues have been promptly taken care of by the on-site maintenance staff. This apartment complex is very well maintained and has quite a few amenities that others in Topeka, do not offer, such as in unit washer and dryer (normal sized). The community is very friendly and quiet, and offers events such as a sidewalk/ yard-sale, a back to school pool party and a fundraiser for school supplies. I would recommend these apartments to anyone looking in the Topeka area.

Love, love, love
Excellent location! My apartment is close to almost anything you could want - restaurants, shops, banks, even a shopping mall! The maintenance staff does a great job keeping everything looking good and running smoothly. The office staff takes care of anything I could need - even going above and beyond when I'm in a pinch. My apartment feels like home and I can't imagine living anywhere else!

The overlook apartments topeka, ks
Not bad place. Pros: Close to main highways Landscaping highly maintained Pool and park inside community Gas fireplace (in some apts) Friendly staff Strong central air All appliances included Washer /dryer combo in some apts Pet friendly for approved breeds Rentable garages to avoid public parking Cons: Refurbished apartments from condemned ones. So our master bedroom floor (1st floor) is crooked slightly. Had to use flip flops to even out the bed. Bird mating is crazy in the spring/summer German shepherds are banned breed Unassigned parking.
