Why Choose A Sunflower Property

We are the landlords who care. As parents of four, we understand the importance of having your student find accommodations that are safe, secure, and well-maintained. This can be a challenge in a college town. Unfortunately, many landlords take advantage of college students. Once the lease is signed, problems and maintenance are ignored. This is true, not only for the single-family homes near KU, but, in our experience, with some of the large and most popular student apartments in the area. We moved our son into an apartment near campus years ago and were appalled, once he lived there, with the conditions. Pools were disgusting, common areas, such as hallways were never cleaned (even after weekend partying) and elevators remained out of order for long periods of time. We fell in love with the town of Lawrence and decided we could do better for the students of KU. We truly love the homes we purchase. Our passion is updating, renovating, and renting the amazing old homes of Lawrence. We make sure all of our homes have smoke and CO2 detectors as well as fire extinguishers. We install automatic door locks with a code the renter sets themselves. No more lockouts late at night. We are reliable landlords who are always reachable and fix problems in a timely manner. Because we take such pride in our homes, we expect students to take care of the properties they rent. We are very popular which gives us the ability to be selective with our renters.
