At Luxury Apts WNY we do it right! Proof? Once again we have been recognized as being among the 2018 Elite 1% properties in the nation for online reputation for the fourth consecutive year. This year, not just one, but two of our properties! Both StoneGate Apartment Homes and Renaissance Place Apartments have earned this distinction. Not only that, but all four of our properties, Windsong Place Apartments, and Autumn Creek Apartments joining Renaissance Place and StoneGate, have garnered awards as well, being noted by ApartmentRatings.com as being among the 2018 Top Rated Award Winners.
Being recognized with these awards is a compliment to the caliber of people who make our apartment communities their home. We could not do this year after year without your vote of confidence!
How the Rankings Work
The Elite 1% ORA™ Power Ranking
The Elite 1% ORA™ Power Ranking is an annual ranking developed by J Turner Research based on a monthly online reputation research of over 101,000 apartments, across 19+ review sites and Internet Listing Services (ILSs). J Turner Research is an independent market research and online reputation management company exclusively serving the multifamily industry.
To be included in the 2018 rankings, properties had to register a minimum ORA™ (Online Reputation Assessment) score of 89 and have at least 12 online reviews to be included in this ranking. For properties with the same ORA™ score, the property with the higher number of reviews ranked higher. The ORA™ score, based on a scale of 0–100, is an aggregate compilation of an apartment’s ratings across 19+ review sites and ILSs.
StoneGate scored 94 and Renaissance Place scored 89. The national average score is 61.56. The ORA™ score serves as the industry standard to measure and benchmark a property’s or company’s online reputation.
