Manistique offers brand-new two-bedroom, two-bathroom villa-style apartment homes with private entries, attached two-car garages, private driveways, and patio space. Because we are currently pre-leasing, availability changes as homes are released, so contact our leasing team for the most current list of homes and release dates.

Manistique is under construction and now pre-leasing, with the first residents expected to move in beginning September 2026. Homes are released for lease in phases, and our leasing team can share the current construction timeline and the specific move-in dates available for the home you are interested in.

While construction is underway, you can tour a model home at our sister community, Arabella, to see a similar private-entry layout, attached garage design, and maintenance-free approach to renting. Tours can be scheduled online or by contacting our leasing team directly. During your visit, our team can walk you through pre-leasing details, apartment features, planned community amenities, lease terms, pet policies, pricing, and move-in timelines.

Once you choose your preferred apartment home, you'll complete the online application, submit the application fee and holding deposit, and provide any required documentation. Applications are reviewed for income, credit, rental history, and public criminal records. If an applicant does not meet eligibility requirements, the holding fee will be refunded.

Most applications are processed within 1–3 business days once all required documents have been received. Timing can vary depending on verification needs, whether an applicant's background screening is in-state or out-of-state, and how quickly supporting information is submitted.

Manistique generally offers lease term options between 12 and 15 months, so you can choose a length that fits your housing plans. Pricing can vary depending on the term you select, so contact our leasing office for the specific terms and rates currently available.

If your preferred apartment layout is not currently available, you can join our priority waitlist by submitting an online application, a $50 application fee per person, and a $150 priority reservation deposit. Our leasing team will contact you when a matching home becomes available. Because Manistique is releasing homes in phases ahead of our initial Fall 2026 move-ins, joining the list early is a practical way to reserve a spot in an upcoming phase.

Manistique is built as a villa-style community rather than a traditional apartment building, so each home has its own private front door, attached two-car garage, private driveway, and patio space. That layout gives residents more separation and a stronger sense of arrival than a typical corridor-style building, with no shared interior hallways or common stairwells. At the same time, residents get the support of professional management, professional landscaping and lawn care, curbside trash and recycling pickup, and 24-hour emergency maintenance. For renters comparing houses for rent in Kansas City MO against professionally managed apartment living, Manistique offers the space and privacy of a home with far less upkeep.

Rent for our two-bedroom, two-bathroom villa-style homes varies by floor plan, home location within the community, and the lease term you select. Since Manistique is pre-leasing for September 2026 move-ins, pricing is released alongside each phase of homes, so contact our leasing team for current rates.

Residents at Manistique are responsible for their utilities, including electric, gas, water, and sewer. Curbside trash and recycling pickup is provided as a community service.
