UMKC’s Twin Oaks Apartments provides housing
for all types of UMKC students. To the extent possible, the management
staff seeks to place graduate students and students with families
in proximity to each other. A number of families with children
live in the apartment complex. A school bus picks up school-aged
children in front of the complex.
The Twin Oaks community assistants plan activities for all Twin
Oaks residents. All activities are open to all residents, however,
many activities are planned with families in mind (i.e. Easter
egg hunts, Valentine making, Thanksgiving potluck, cooking contest,
puzzle contest, game night, puppet show to name a few).
Security is a primary consideration of the Residential Life Department
(which manages UMKC Twin Oaks Apartments). There is a police sub-station
located in Twin Oaks, as well as security rounds throughout every
