Celebrating the People Behind the Scenes: Our Maintenance Teams-image

From October 16th to October 20th, our community came together to honor the fearless team members who keep our spaces vibrant and functional—the Maintenance Teams. Day in and day out, these dedicated individuals ensure our community shines, whether it's battling snow, prepping new apartments, handling plumbing snags, or beautifying our grounds.   Our week-long celebration was a tribute to their tireless efforts:   Monday - Fueling Up: We kicked-off the week with an array of snacks and treats, a small gesture of appreciation for their hard work. Tuesday - Sips and Comfort: Fresh local cider and delectable doughnut holes were served, offering a comforting indulgence to lift spirits and warm hearts. Wednesday - Uniting for Fun: Bringing together our entire team—Maintenance, Leasing, and Home Office—we embarked on a day of camaraderie and joy at Buffalo Battleground. Lunch, laser tag, axe throwing, arcade games, and a delightful happy hour created unforgettable memories, marking the close of a bustling season. Thursday - Energizing Spirits: Following our adventurous outing, our Community Managers treated the team to a much-needed caffeine boost with cups of steaming coffee.   Friday - Tokens of Appreciation: A hearty breakfast awaited our Maintenance team, accompanied by a special gift—a cozy Buffalo Bills Blanket, symbolizing our shared love for our home team! Our Maintenance Teams, with their unwavering commitment, ensure that our residents experience the best of our community. It shines brighter because of them! Cheers to our Maintenance Teams—the silent champions who make everyday life extraordinary!   Check us out on our Facebook Page here: https://www.facebook.com/RenaissancePlaceApts

The maintenance team of Roger and Matt have always been there when we need them and have gone out of their way to be sure we are happy with their work. Our spacious 3-bedroom apartment with an attached garage is perfect for us. Our patio faces the courtyard and we enjoy watching the kids play at the playground and basketball court. We use the exercise room and pool and look forward to the resumption of the summer picnics and Christmas parties. We like to grill on our small propane grill and do not mind having to store the tanks in a designated place on property. This complex is located near all the shops and restaurants on Transit Road and walking distance to Kohl's, Target, Wegman's and Lowe's.
