I've been a tenant with the Winkler Organization for about 2 years, at the 494 lofts, and I recently moved into The Heights on Green Street, for a change of pace, and already loving it just as much, if not more, than the Lofts! I glance at some of the other reviews, and I see ones that are 1, 2, and 3 star reviews? I don't understand how, honestly.
Winkler is the best property management company I've come across so far. All of the properties of theirs that I've been exposed to have been top-quality, and well-maintained. I've lived in a couple so far, visited friends in others -- they have properties all over Boone, and so far, from what I've seen, all of the properties are among the best apartments to live in, in Boone.
Maintenance is super responsive -- literally the best maintenance I've seen. They've almost always handled my requests within a couple days, and if they were in a position where they couldn't, then I've gotten a call from Judah (the maintenance manager), letting me know what's up.
Any time that I've reached out to either Tiffany or Molly, they've been absolutely wonderful, as well! I swear I have probably bugged them with random questions at least once a month or every other month, and every single time, they've been nothing but pleasant, and quick to respond!
One other thing that I enjoy is that the Winkler Organization has standards, and they hold not only their tenants to those standards, but themselves as well. Their properties are top-notch, and they do a great job of managing expectations in keeping it that way, but also are willing to work with you in their part of maintaining the property. I've met too many people who'll move into a place, wreck it, and then get pissy that they didn't get their full deposit back...it's quite ridiculous.
There are many slum-lord-level property managers and landlords in Boone, that'll prey on the student population. No matter what, out-of-town students need a place to lay their head at night, and they know that. Winkler isn't one of em.
