We are pleased to announce that for the 7th consecutive year, StoneGate Apartment Homes has earned the Elite 1% ORA award with impressive stats. Renaissance Place has also earned the Elite 1% ORA award for the second time. The ORA award is presented by J Turner Research , an independent market research firm exclusively focused on the multifamily industry.  We would like to thank all of our residents, past and present, for making this possible, as awards were based on Online Reputation.   What exactly does it mean to be a part of the Top 1%? It means that out of over 128,000 apartment communities nationwide, only 1,564 apartments will earn the Elite 1% distinction. More impressively, StoneGate ranked #6 in the whole state of New York.    Developed by J Turner Research, the ORA® Power Ranking is based on monthly online reputation research of over 128,000 properties’ lifetime reviews across multiple review sites and Internet Listing Services (ILSs). Then using a statistical model, they assign an Online Reputation Assessment (ORA™) score on a scale of 0-100, which determines the rank of each apartment community in this ranking. The national average ORA® Score as of December 2021 was 62.62. StoneGate scored a 95 and Renaissance Place scored a 94!   The Elite 1% ranking is published by an independent trade publication, Multifamily Executive. A property or a management company does not have to be a J Turner client to qualify for this ranking.   “We take immense pride in being recognized as an ORA ® Elite 1% property by J Turner Research.

Be Good to the Earth  Go Green!-image

  Staying environmentally conscious is an important life view that can literally change the world for the better. Today, the Luxury Apts WNY Blog has a few ideas for how you can make that a part of your life. Try these easy ways to be good to the earth and minimize your carbon footprint at any of our Western New York apartment communities!   Recycle and reuse. Recycling and reusing are easy ways to ensure that you’re not adding extra trash to the country’s already overflowing landfills. Refresh yourself on what is recyclable and learn how the process works so you can be sure you’re doing it right. We encourage that you use your creativity when it comes to reusing! Ditch the plastic water bottles and plastic grocery bags and go for reusable ones. Fix items before throwing them out or find ways to repurpose them into something else you can use. These and other efforts can make a huge difference!   Mind your water consumption. Every day, people waste water in all sorts of ways. Be aware of what you’re doing and what you’re wasting by looking for ways to cut back. Here are a few ideas:   Take shorter showers. Turn off the spout when brushing your teeth. Submit work orders for any leaks you notice.   Eliminate bad habits. Consider how your habits are affecting the environment. How much water, energy, and non-recyclable products do you use every day? How much of it do you actually need? Eliminate excess waste by making your own products. You can also work on making meals to match how much you’ll eat (sticking to specific serving sizes can help with this!).   What other suggestions for recycling, minimizing waste, reducing your carbon footprint, and otherwise being good to the earth do you have for us? Share your ideas with us by leaving a comment. Thanks for reading! We hope you enjoy making these efforts a part of your life.
