The inaugural Resident Appreciation Week in the Philadelphia area was held June 5 through June 11. At Castle Club Apartments in Morrisville, PA, the staff hosted daily events that celebrated the residents who make this Home Properties apartment community a true home.
Property Manager Christina Yeager said one of the highlights of the week involved a Philadelphia- area favorite – the water ice social. The delicious Italian ice cream had to be re-stocked due to what Yeager described as "an amazing turnout." "The social happened to be on an extremely hot day, so residents were particularly thankful for the water ice treats," said Yeager. "What made that day even more special was the fellowship time for residents. We have a fairly small community here with 158 apartments, and our residents really just enjoy socializing and being together. This week allowed several opportunities for them to do just that," remarked Yeager.
The week at Trexler Park Apartments in Allentown, PA, was also enthusiastically received by residents. Property Manager Sarah Weighknecht remarked on the camaraderie shared among residents. "This event made it easy for residents to get to know each other even better. Our team is personally invested in presenting activities like this that add to the wonderful lifestyle here," she said. Events including breakfast-on-the-go and make-your-own-sundae proved to be overwhelmingly popular during the week-long celebration at Trexler Park.
