Four multifamily communities that Chesapeake Realty Partners developed rank in the 2018 Elite 1% ORA™ Power Ranking for having the best online reputations in the U.S. 

J Turner Research releases the annual rankings, which are widely recognized as the industry benchmark. The Online Reputation Assessment (ORA™) score highlights the performance of properties, management companies and REITs across multiple review sites. 

“Earning the recognition from ORA helps solidify CRP's focus on building a truly great experience for our residents, and the reward is in knowing we are making good on that promise,” said Chesapeake Realty Partners Vice President Derek Olszanowski. “Of more than 100,000 communities across the country, only 1,234 scored highly enough to earn membership in the ORA™ Elite club.” 

Here are the luxury multifamily communities that Chesapeake developed that made the list:

* The Overlook in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania has an ORA™ score of 95 and is ranked at #35 in the nation. The garden-style community, which features a resort-like clubhouse with fitness center, business center and swimming pool, has 288 units located in the Harrisburg metro area. 

* 2 East Wells in Baltimore, Maryland has a score of 92 ORA™ score and a ranking of #306. The apartments have a resident’s club and cafe, two rooftop decks, a fitness center, and one of Baltimore’s Top 50 restaurants, Minnow. The 152-unit community is in Baltimore’s historic Federal Hill area.

* Belvoir Square in Fairfax County, Virginia has an ORA™ score of 91, coming in at #503. The 282-unit wellness-focused community has indoor and outdoor fitness facilities and some of the most unique amenities available anywhere. It is located just outside the main gate of fast-growing Fort Belvoir.

* Riverside Apartments near Aberdeen Proving Ground in Belcamp, Maryland, has an ORA score of 89 and ranks at #958. The 400-unit garden style community features a five-star clubhouse, resort-style swimming pool, fitness center, resident’s club, walking and running trails, two dog parks and much more. 

WPM Real Estate manages The Overlook, 2 East Wells and Riverside. Kettler Management manages Belvoir Square. 

J Turner says a property must earn a minimum ORA™ score of 89 and have at least 12 online reviews to be ranked. When communities have the same score, the property with more reviews ranks higher. Multifamily Executive recently published the results of the rankings.
