About Us

In 2000, our family purchased both Wilmington House and Roscommon Place. The previous owners had lost interest and the properties had become run-down. We knew we were in for a good deal of work but both of our families had had rental property while we were growing up and we were familiar with the challenges we would face.

Over the past 8 years, we have renovated both inside and out and I am happy to say that there are no longer any avocado appliances to be found! All of the units were repainted and have had new carpeting and we have added vinyl flooring in every kitchen, bathroom, and entryway.

The tired landscaping has been transformed. We began by pulling out the old evergreen shrubs and planting perennials designed to bloom from spring to fall. Next, we have added several grills and picnic tables scattered around, so that the tenants can enjoy the greenspace. Last spring, the parking lot was re-sealed.

To keep everything running smoothly, we hired a resident Property Maintenance Manager. Normally, you will only find resident maintenance in larger properties, but we felt it was important to have someone here. Since he lives here, he is able to take care of issues as they happen and not some time down the road. He also has a vested interest in keeping his neighbors happy!

We also spent a lot of time listening to the tenants. The laundry room was being renovated and at their suggestion, we made 3 of the washing machines large-capacity to accommodate bedspreads and curtains. We also did away with set hours at the laundry. Giving each tenant a key allowed them to do their laundry on their own schedule. We have added exterior lighting and fenced in the rear of the complex for added security, and are looking into adding a trash recycling program.

We’ve worked hard, but we’ve also been blessed with some terrific tenants. They look out for us, and for each other. Together, we’ve made this community a very nice place to live, and one we are proud to own. If you are in the market for a new home, for a year or for a lifetime, consider a visit to Wilmington House or Roscommon Place. I’m sure you’ll see what we mean!
