Private, furnished
A lockable private bedroom, furnished with a bed, storage, and a place to work. You bring what personalizes it. Everything you'd otherwise price out at IKEA is already there.
Shared Living · Kansas City Metro
A room of your own,
A room of your own,
in a home that works.
A furnished private room. Shared common space you don't have to furnish or maintain. Utilities and internet included. Month-to-month, no roommate scavenger hunt. Kansas City metro — rooms are limited and filling.
An independent, service-disabled-veteran-owned Missouri limited liability company.
What's Included
Furnished. Simple. Month-to-Month.
Kitchen and common areas
A shared kitchen, common living area, and bathrooms. Cleaned on a documented schedule. You do not personally maintain the shared space — that is included in the arrangement.
One rent, no surprise bills
Electric, gas, water, trash, and internet are included in the monthly rate. You get one bill from one landlord — not five bills from five providers.
Month-to-month flexibility
A written month-to-month agreement. Written notice on either side. No year-long commitment for a room, and no verbal handshake that leaves you exposed.
This page describes shared living as URA operates it today. Anything not yet operating is described as coming, not as available.
Who It's For
People Who Want the Economics of Sharing Without the Chaos
Shared living cuts the cost of a whole apartment down to the cost of a room — with common space already set up. It is a fit if you are:
- Looking for the economics of sharing without the chaos of a random roommate arrangement.
- Relocating to Kansas City and need somewhere real while you get established.
- Holding a housing voucher and looking for a landlord who understands and participates in the program.
- Bridging a lease gap and not willing to sign twelve months on the strength of a photo.
If shared living is not the right fit, we will tell you honestly and, where we can, point you to something that is.
Veteran & Voucher Lane
A Landlord Who Knows the Program
Urban Realty Alliance, LLC is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business. We work with Operation Stable Ground Foundation, Inc., a Missouri 501(c)(3), on housing stabilization. We understand and participate in voucher programs including HUD-VASH.
Nothing on this page states or implies that any specific property has program approval, that any voucher is available on any given unit, or that placement is guaranteed. The waitlist is how we determine fit; the tenancy determines the terms.
Where
Kansas City Metro
Locations named below are the ones URA actually holds or operates. Everything else is on the waitlist because supply is not yet where demand is.
4311 Towers Road
Kansas City, MO. HUBZone-registered address. Shared home with a room available in the current cycle. Join the waitlist to be considered.
2200B Montgall Avenue
Kansas City, MO. Two rooms coming after rehabilitation is complete. Waitlist entries for this address are timestamped so priority is honored when it opens.
The Waitlist

Two minutes. Real person on the other end. A waitlist entry is not an application and does not guarantee housing — it puts you on the list we work from when a room opens.
Common Questions
Straight Answers
What is included in the monthly rent?
A furnished private room, use of shared common areas (kitchen, living, bathrooms), and utilities including electric, gas, water, trash, and internet. One number, one landlord.
How is rent paid?
Written month-to-month agreement, with a clear rent amount stated up front. Payment methods and the deposit structure are confirmed before you sign — nothing is verbal.
Do you accept housing vouchers?
Urban Realty Alliance, LLC understands and participates in voucher programs including HUD-VASH. Approval on any specific unit follows the program's own inspection and approval process; the waitlist is where the conversation starts.
Is there a lease?
Yes — a written month-to-month lease. Written notice on either side. No handshake tenancies.
How are housemates screened?
Every prospective housemate goes through the same intake and screening process, applied consistently. We are a fair-housing landlord; screening does not turn on any protected class.
What if a room is not available yet?
Then the waitlist exists because demand is ahead of supply — which is exactly the case today. Waitlist entries are timestamped. When a room opens, we work the list in order and by fit.
Is this an application?
No. The waitlist puts you on the list we work from. If we can move forward together, the formal application, screening, and lease happen at that point — not now.
