For years, a move to Kansas City often meant looking toward the suburbs in search of space. Today, more renters are looking to make their home in the heart of the city, where the Power & Light District has evolved into one of Kansas City’s most connected places to call home.

At its center are One Light, Two Light and Three Light Luxury Apartments, along with 2026 DesignKC Award winner Midland Lofts. Each of the four communities pairs thoughtfully designed residences and elevated amenities with a neighborhood where restaurants, entertainment, nightlife, major employers, and the KC Streetcar are all within easy reach.

That lifestyle has particular appeal for those new to Kansas City. At One Light, Two Light and Three Light, individuals relocating from outside of Kansas City often account for more than 75 percent of new residents, arriving from markets including New York, Chicago, San Diego and cities throughout Texas.

“People aren’t just selecting their new home; they’re choosing to live in the Power & Light District at the heart of Kansas City,” says Nicholle Soendker, Director of Residential Marketing for Cordish Living. “For many people relocating from larger cities, the ability to have dinner, see a concert or commute without relying on a car creates the type of urban lifestyle they’re accustomed to and are looking for in Kansas City.”

Each community offers its own interpretation of that experience. One Light, Two Light and Three Light feature floor-to-ceiling windows, panoramic views, and socially driven amenities ranging from rooftop pools and resident bars to fitness centers and coworking spaces. Services including 24-hour front desk teams, valet dry cleaning, guest suites and furnished residences bring a hospitality-focused approach to everyday life.
