What it’s like to live in Blue Village
Suburban comfort characterizes Blue Village, where family-oriented amenities include playgrounds within walking distance of most homes and community events at the recreation center. Residents enjoy the neighborhood's convenient location near Independence Center shopping while maintaining quiet residential streets. Though limited public transportation requires car ownership, the trade-off comes in more square footage and yard space than available in Kansas City proper. Many homes feature basements providing essential shelter during tornado season.

Methodology

Apartment List is committed to the accuracy and transparency of our rent estimates. We begin with reliable median rent statistics from the Census Bureau, then extrapolate them forward to the current month using a growth rate calculated from our listing data. In doing so, we use a same-unit analysis similar to Case-Shiller’s approach, capturing apartment transactions over time to provide an accurate picture of rent growth in cities across the country. Our approach corrects for the sample bias inherent in other private sources, producing results that are much closer to statistics published by the Census Bureau and HUD. For more details, please see the Apartment List Rent Estimate Methodology.

Data Access

Apartment List publishes monthly rent reports and underlying data for hundreds of cities across the nation, as well as data aggregated for counties, metros, and states. These data are intended to be a source of reliable information that help renters and policymakers make sound decisions. Insights from our data are covered regularly by journalists across the country.
