CHICAGO, IL - RMK Management Corp., one of the Midwest’s largest market-rate apartment management firms, has been named property and leasing manager for two rental properties in Pleasant Prairie, Wis., both of which were recently purchased by Santefort Real Estate Group. The communities, Cobblestone Creek and Fountain Ridge, are both fully occupied.
The village of Pleasant Prairie is centrally located between Kenosha, Wis., and the Illinois border, which are each just a 15-minute drive away. Offering convenient access to major commuter corridors connecting residents to Milwaukee, about 37 miles to the north, and Chicago, 56 miles to the south, the Pleasant Prairie area is also highly sought after for its abundant entertainment and recreational amenities.
“We are honored that Santefort Real Estate Group has entrusted us with managing its two new properties in Pleasant Prairie,” said Anthony Rossi Jr., president of RMK Management Corp. “With years of experience managing properties throughout Wisconsin, including those in the far suburbs of Milwaukee, our management and leasing teams are well-versed in the needs of renters in this area and the care and property events they want and expect. On Day 1, our teams set up on-site meetings with residents and started introducing our popular lineup of community events and activities. In addition to delivering our award-winning leasing, management and maintenance services, our team also focuses on building strong relationships with residents and creating opportunities for neighbors to connect and become part of the community.”
