Wangard Partners Ranked in Top 1% Nationally for Resident Experience

Wangard Partners is proud to announce that two of its properties have been recognized in the top 1% nationally for resident experience. The recent ranking, released by J Turner Research as part of the Elite ORA® Power Ranking for 2024, highlights the exceptional living environments created by Wangard Partners. This accolade underscores the company's commitment to providing outstanding residential experiences and community engagement.

The properties recognized are The Reef Wauwatosa, ranked 162nd, and The Locklyn Oconomowoc Apartments, ranked 181st in the prestigious Elite 1% list. This distinction is based on an extensive evaluation of over 144,000 properties across various review sites, ensuring that the ranking is comprehensive and unbiased. To qualify for the Elite 1% ranking, properties must achieve a minimum ORA® score of 93 and have at least 20 online reviews, showcasing their strong reputations among current residents.

In Southeastern Wisconsin, where 12 of the state's top 17 apartment properties are located, and most scores range from 95 to 93, The Locklyn Apartments in Oconomowoc and The Reef Apartments Wauwatosa, both managed by Wangard Partners, stand out with a rare resident satisfaction score of 96. Matched by only one other regional property and surpassed solely by an out-of-area score of 99, this places The Locklyn and The Reef among the elite of this competitive market, showcasing their exceptional quality, resident experience, and appeal.

Wangard Partners has consistently prioritized enhancing the resident experience through various initiatives and amenities. The company integrates luxury living with sustainable development, ensuring that each property is not merely a place to live but a vibrant community. Residents benefit from thoughtfully designed apartments that include modern amenities, on-site services, and a focus on creating engaging environments that foster community interaction.

The company's commitment to excellence is further exemplified in its upcoming development, The Landing at Hub City. Set to open with move-ins beginning in August 2025, this new community will feature 156 modern residential units designed with private entries and various amenities. With a focus on enhancing the resident experience, The Landing will include on-site leasing and maintenance services, private balconies, and an enclosed dog park, further solidifying Wangard Partners' reputation as a leader in quality living.

Wangard Partners' recognition in the top 1% nationally not only reflects the success of its current properties but also sets a benchmark for future developments. The company remains steadfast in its mission to build communities that enrich the lives of residents while promoting sustainable living. This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire Wangard team, who prioritize the needs and satisfaction of their residents.
