Canterbury Estates is one of the more established and coveted neighborhoods in Kansas City due to its proximity to downtown (10 minutes), the airport (10 minutes), historic Parkville shops and parks, shopping (Zona Rosa and numerous niche locales), and restaurants (in the Tuileries off NW 64th and Barry Road).
Evidence of damage due to significant construction materials, abrasives, or fabric, e.g., excessive mud, sheetrock dust, concrete dust, asphalt, shingle particles, cement, tar, oil or other materials that cause excessive wear, scratches, or cleaning of floors or carpet are subject to a $500 additional cleaning/ remediation fee.
