November 2024 AHF Newsletter

Atlantic Housing Foundation’s Heather Ridge Apartment Homes just received a makeover, and both residents and management are thrilled with the result. Maintenance lead Jaimie Renteria says the resident reaction to the renovation has been very positive. “The residents are happier and feel more at home. From a maintenance perspective, it has reduced the amount of work orders, which allows us to focus even more on preventative maintenance.” 

Resident Toni Silverberg left a Google review praising the new updates to the Irving, Texas community: “They have renovated the entire complex and it is really, really nice. We also have new office staff who are attentive and respond quickly to concerns.” 

Heather Ridge is a garden-style, gated community built in 1984, and offers one- and two-bedroom apartments. Interior renovations include an upgrade to stainless steel appliances, new countertops and wooden cabinets, upgraded vinyl plank flooring, fresh paint, new windows and interior doors. Plumbing upgrades of low-flow toilets, faucets, and tub surrounds will also benefit the residents, and installation of eco-friendly high-efficiency appliances, LED lighting and upgraded window systems will help reduce their utility expenses. 

On the exterior of the property, the development team added new siding and signage, stair-landing upgrades, fresh paint, updated the irrigation system, and added two new golf carts. The on-site amenities also received a refresh, including an upgraded community center, maintenance shop update, and leasing office improvements.

Some of our Atlantic Housing Foundation team members attended the HR Southwest conference where they learned about HR best practices and trends and discussed new programs to bring back to our organization. They also won Best Team costume as they dressed up as the characters from the '90s movie and TV show Clueless! Attending conferences is one of many ways AHF teams can pursue our core values of Investing in Human Capital and Continuous Improvement.
