What's been going on with The Preserve!

We have been on a small hiatus from our blog over the past few weeks or so, and we wanted to update you on what's been going on with The Preserve at Overland Park!

In March we had an "eggcellent" turn out to our annual Eggstravaganza! We had food, prizes, games and of course the egg hunt was a great success! Everyone won something! We even had a visit from the Bunny himself:

 

In April we started BINGO up again and had a quick winner! We are continuing BINGO through May, so if you haven't picked up your card make sure to stop by the office and get one! No winner yet.

 

Our office has switched over to new hours effective immediately: Monday - Friday 10:00am-6:00pm, Saturday 10:00am-5:00pm, Sunday 1:00pm-5:00pm.

We are also having a few technical issues over the past few weeks. Our website is now up and running and revamped- make sure to check it out: www.thepreserveop.com
Our emails have been down as well, they are now up and running. You can email any of the following with any questions, concerns or just to say HI!
Leasing@thepreserveop.com
Leasing2@thepreserveop.com
sales@thepreserveop.com
thepreserveatoverlandpark@gmail.com

We also have a new online rent payment system which will be effective for JUNE. Stay tuned on our facebook page for more information regarding how to set yours up. www.facebook.com/thepreserveop
THANK YOU all for being so patient and being the BEST residents through all of our changes and technical issues! And please let us know if you have any questions.

 

Good eats in Overland Park

It's about that time for your tax return's to come back (that is if you were lucky enough to get money back!) and what a better way to celebrate than to go out to a new restaurant!? These are some top picks for our area!

119th Street Diner- offers some great hearty meals and they boast to have 19 different options of eggs beneidict!

Bolings- up for some amazing chinese tonight?! Check out Bolings, a favorite among most Kansas Citians!

BD's Mongolian BBQ- if you have yet to experience this, get to it! Build your own stir fry and they also have amazing deserts too!

RA Sushi- wanting to try something out of your comfort zone? or just need a new sushi spot? RA is great! Excellent happy hour too!

Oklahoma Joe's, Gates, Jack Stack- ok if you haven't been out for a true Kansas City BBQ yet, you aren't experiencing Kansas City to the fullest! Check out one of these BBQ joints soon!

Ricco's, Sugo's Spaghetteria- both of these places have some great authentic italian dishes! Who doesn't love a meatball the size of your fist?

Frida's- what a great place to get a contemporary mexican meal! Great place to try tapas too!

Rye- ever had a midwestern meal? Think again! Try out this place for a whole new experience!

Crystal Merits

We had a great weekend at the Apartment Association of Kansas City's Crystal Merit Awards ceremony! Fogelman walked away with 14 awards including Best Management Company of the year, Best Maintanence Team of the year and Best Company Marketing Program of the year! Our very own Melody Goss won Best Manager, Lara Golike won MVP, and Kara Redmon won Best Multi-site supervisor. Congrats to everyone!

Smell-good Apartment

Nothing better than a great smelling apartment! Here are some good ideas to keep your apartment smelling good:

You could go with the normal Febreeze room spray or a good smelling candle, but why not try out a Scentsy? They have some gorgeous great looking wax warmers that keep your whole apartment smelling amazing! They have plenty of scentsy to choose from and the best part is we have a representative right here in our office! Call us if you are interested! 913-685-3700


Need a cheap alternative? This next idea comes from one of our residents! Tape dryer sheets under your kitchen counters, desks, cabinets. This makes the whole place smell extra fresh! Just change out the dryer sheets every month or so when the smell starts to fade!


Another great way to keep your apartment clean for less is a stove top solution. Heat up 3 cups of water on the stove, add whole cloves, cinnamon sticks or orange wedges to the hot water and heat for 30 mins. You can heat this mixture up every so often for a great natural scent!



What's better than smelling fresh baked goods? You could always throw in a batch of cookies or brownies for that great sweet smell! Make sure you don't burn them!

We LOVE our residents! What are you doing to celebrate the national day of LOVE?

Check out these cute ideas for some LOVE shaped food...

Winter Safety

We have had a fairly calm winter thus far and hopefully will come out for an early spring, according to the Groundhog! But just in case, we always need to know our winter safety for a late snow storm.

Check out these Winter Safety Tips. They include: what to wear, hypothermia, frostbite, other winter health related items, winter activities safety and weather protection.

Stay safe out there!

Kansas City Winter

It can get pretty cold this time of the year in Kansas City, but don't fear it! Embrace it! There are plenty of things to do in Kansas City even this time of the year.

1. A local favorite is ice skating! Crown Center Ice Terrace is an excellent location or even our own Town Center has a smaller ice rink!

2. Head north to Weston, Mo for Snow Creek. You can skii, snowboard or even tube down the mountain. Fun for the whole family and they have excellent hot cocoa!

3. Spend the night at the Kansas City Zoo with Nikita the polar bear.

4. Take your sled to Sucide Hill in Brookside, MO off 53rd and Brookside Blvd. Bundle up and get your brave pants on!

5. Visit the Museums! Nelson-Atkins, Kemper, and Wonderscope are some of the favorites! (And they are warm!!)

Stay safe out there! Spring is just around the corner!
