Several Drucker + Falk Apartment Communities Make Elite 1% ORA Power Ranking By J Turner Research

Seven apartment communities within the multifamily management company's portfolio ranked nationally for resident experiences

NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Feb. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The nation's leading apartment industry research firm, J Turner Research, has announced the 2024 Elite 1% Online Reputation Assessment (ORA™) Power Ranking of properties with the best online reputation across the nation based on individual ORA™ scores. In its 11th year, this ranking was released in association with the research firm's media partner, Multifamily Executive. The ORA™ Power Ranking, which measures a property's reputation from a renter's perspective, took the reviews and star ratings for over 144,000 properties found across various review sites and ILSs and using a proprietary algorithm assigned those properties a score between 0-100. This score establishes a benchmark and allows communities and portfolios to more easily be compared with one another.

Out of 144,000+ communities assessed — an increase again from the previous year — only 1,371 conventional properties secured a desired spot on the esteemed list, having to have scored a 93 and above to be eligible. Within this group of almost 1,400 apartment communities, seven Drucker + Falk (DF) Multifamily communities have earned their place.

The following Drucker + Falk professionally managed apartment communities were named to this year's Elite 1% list:

Barclay Place Apartments - Wilmington, NC
Mayfaire Apartment Homes - Raleigh, NC
The Choices at Holland Windsor - Virginia Beach, VA
The Lincoln Apartments - Raleigh, NC
The Crossings at Red Mill - Virginia Beach, VA
Venture Apartments iN Tech Center - Newport News, VA
Wythe Creek Apartments - Poquoson, VA
