Rosewood Heights Apartments is more than just living space for those 62 and older or living with a disability, it is a community that extends far beyond its walls. While its dedicated staff provides daily interaction, volunteers, school groups, conservation organizations, churches and other nonprofits also spend valuable time at Rosewood Heights. In fact, more than once a week a Rock Rapids community member spends time with the residents of Rosewood Heights Apartments.

Here's a scenario many renters can relate to: You just moved in to your shiny, new apartment and after hours and hours of unboxing, things start to feel like home. But then it happens. One minor inconvenience pops up. It could have been that the lock was taking too long to open, or a flickering light took a few minutes too long to illuminate the room. At the time, you figured it wasn’t a big deal and didn’t want to pester maintenance for something so small. That was a mistake. As time goes on, minor inconveniences can easily turn into critical stage problems. And, once you do notify your building manager, the once "easy" problem now takes longer to fix, costs more money and could require you to vacate for safety reasons.

At Oakleaf Property Management, we value each staff member. The Community Manager who builds camaraderie among residents, the handyman who replaces that squeaky faucet, even the woman who makes the daily coffee. Our hats go off to one position (and program) in particular: the Service Coordinator Program.

Nowadays, learning something new doesn’t mean enrolling in a community college or committing to a weekly workshop (although it still certainly can!). Today, learning something new can benefit not only your career, but also your relationships, your mental health, your cooking skills, or your self-reliance. When it comes to learning, the question isn’t what you learn, but rather how you make it a priority in your life.

While very few kids proclaim they want to be a property manager or an apartment maintenance engineer when they grow up, there are few in these positions who can imagine doing anything else. Whether helping a young family get their start or fixing a grandfather’s air-conditioning unit, working at Oakleaf Property Management taps into the desire to leave the world—and the people in it—better than you found them.
