Manhattan, KS Apartments for Rent

Known as the Little Apple, Manhattan is nestled in the heart of Kansas. Manhattan apartments are sure to draw you in for the amount of space it has to welcome you. After all, this is a place where you can dive into an atmosphere of excitement and adventure. If you want to make a statement for your life, move here!

There’s a truckload of activities for you to venture out and explore. The parks are phenomenal. You can play soccer, walk the dog, have a picnic, and the list goes on and on because guess what — the parks are just that huge! The children will be so tired after a day at the park that it will take a miracle to keep them awake on the ride home to your new apartment in Manhattan.

Things to Do in Manhattan:

The educational institutions in Manhattan strive for success. You can attend Kansas State University, Manhattan Area Technical College, or Manhattan Christian College. All are great options to choose from when considering a college or university.  Just a bit of history: there was no state university in 1857. By 1863, citizens had joined successfully with efforts for the establishment of Kansas State Agricultural College in Manhattan, which is now Kansas State University. Unity of the community has always been the signature mark of what Manhattan stands for.

Enjoy a relaxing picnic in the shade of a huge tree or on a picnic table. Kids can enjoy the afternoon playing on 13 playgrounds, at three pools, or at the splash park! Into fishing? There is a place for that too! Tuttle Creek State Park and Lake offers 15,000 acres of boating, water-skiing, fishing, and hunting!

If you enjoy team sports, Manhattan’s parks boast an abundance of athletic fields and courts. The players that involve themselves in the sports give it their all at the park. Just going for a nice spot to read, you will have the privilege of seeing people running, laughing among family, playing volleyball, and soccer. There are no limits to what Manhattan has to offer.

Entertainment is Manhattan’s forte. This city boasts a number of cultural and recreational attractions that knock the local’s socks off!  Popular places locals brag about are the Country Stampede Music Festival and the Colbert Hills Golf Course. In June, the music festival is the largest you’ll see in this town! They go all out! There is dancing, great food, and fun, all near your new Manhattan apartment. The Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art houses Kansas State’s permanent art collections. There are about 1400 works inside!

Looking for something to do for the kids besides the park? Sunset Zoo is a fun and friendly place that is open year-round for nature-based learning adventures. They refer to those between the ages 3 to 5 as Kinder Cubs! How adorable is that? Have your cub connect with the outdoors! The program includes crafts, games, a zoo tour, and animal visits. Classes are held at 10:45 in the morning to noon on most Saturdays, including winter and spring with only $8 bucks per session. Children gain a sense of independence in the outdoors with excellent supervision around them.

Got the munchies?  Wahoo Fire and Ice Grill is the number one location that is finger-licking-good! The food is to-die-for at any time of the hour. For brunch, the hash brown omelet is the best. Freshly cut hash brown potatoes encasing it on the outside with jalapenos, bacon, and gravy on the top guarantees a sound nap in the future by the fireplace in your Manhattan apartment. The staff is outstanding and the wine dinners are the new top-rated meal of choice.

A classy downtown bar is Finn’s restaurant. Finn’s is the premier dart bar in Manhattan.  It also features three well-maintained pool tables, a silver-strike bowling machine, and a golden tee machine. This place has a full service bar with Bud Light, Coors Light, Miller Lite, Amberbock, Tallgrass Pub Ale and Guinness on tap.  The Guinness is expertly poured the way it’s meant to be.  Rated most favorite by locals is the Bloody Mary, made from scratch; it has developed a reputation as the best in town.

What to Consider When Moving to Manhattan:

Ever wondered what started Broadway? Its creation is from Manhattan’s very own Damon Runyon. The city honors its birthplace with a spot on the list of the National Register of Historic Places.

It is rare for Manhattan to lack anything — especially employment opportunities.  Kansas State University is the leading employer in Manhattan. With more than 6,000 employees on the campus serving more than 24,300 students, KSU has a vision to become the top 50 public research university by 2025! This city is proud to have top athletics programs that attract large crowds to the Manhattan area. The diversity it brings is just one reason why Manhattan apartments continue to fill up fast!

An interesting note: Kansas was the first state to ratify the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which gave African-American men the right to vote. Manhattan has been a diverse, welcoming city since the 1800s – and it still is today.

Why Manhattan Apartments Are Hot:

The space available to breathe and think clearly should be the main reason why you should rent an apartment in Manhattan. Employment rates are inviting, and there’s fun to be had all over town.
