Your friend either shares a one bedroom, does not live in a cool a place as he claims, or has the square footage of a cardboard box.

KCMO is cheap but that rate is absurd.

Swear to god - lives in a one bed in Hyde Park, perfectly fine, normal apartment. He's not in Westport/the River Market/the coolest neighborhood of the week, but Hyde Park is still pretty nice, and his place is definitely not a dump.

No private parking, if that helps?

That seems a little bit under market to me, but absolutely not absurd.

(I'm very familiar with the St. Louis rental market. My last one-bedroom in Tower Grove South (for those familiar with the area) was $625/mo. It was a decent apartment, too.)
