A Message from the Owner I would like to encourage you to consider our apartment community in Grandview, I truly believe it is one of the best values in the metro area. I visit the complex several times each week, the staff is outstanding, we have great tenants, the complex is quiet and very well maintained and our apartments are well appointed. To the best of my knowledge, Candlelite is the only true "all utilities paid" community in the area and that is especially important today, given gas and electricity costs. Utilities account for up to 1/3 (or more) of the average renters monthly housing expenses. An inefficient or poorly maintained HVAC unit may still keep you comfortable but it may be using 2 or 3 times the electricity or gas to do the job! If your paying the utility bills what incentive does your landlord have to keep your HVAC units running efficiently? We see and pay the utility bills every month and I guarantee you we make sure our HVAC systems are working efficiently. Affordability is great, but it doesn't matter if you don't feel safe. Grandview has the 2nd lowest crime rate in the metro area, behind only Lee's Summit. In addition, our complex has one of the lowest police incident rates in South KC based on the KC Star's weekly "Safety Net Reporting". One last thing, don't underestimate the city of Grandview. The new Grandview Triangle (Hw's 435/71/470 interchange) is almost complete and new development is underway in almost every corner of the city. Good luck with your apartment search. Sincerely, M.D. Petty, Managing Partner
