Nevada HAND is truly an exceptional organization. Below is my story and experience as a resident.

NOTE: The acronym, HAND, is housing industry term meaning "Housing and Neighborhood Development."

Here's my story.

I submitted a cash deposit to hold an apartment that I had never seen except in a brochure and floor plan drawing. This was necessary because the building was under construction and the sister property where the leasing office was located was full. Consequently, there were no models to see.

Although the management staff (VM & RW) were very courteous and professional during the qualification and leasing process, being an income and age restricted property I was still a little concerned about what the apartment would be like and how I would be treated once I moved in.

On the day that I moved into my new apartment in particular, and during the weeks and months that followed, I received one of the most exciting, uplifting, and gratifying surprises of my life. The apartment was 10 times better than I expected, the move in process was very well organized and skillfully executed by the management and maintenance team (VM, RW, & EK), and their treatment of me since then has been very respectful, responsive, and professional. Although there are no granite floors, water fountains, or marble statues here, money is spent only on the important stuff, it feels like I m living in a 55+ apartment in Beverly Hills!

My apartment, the building, and the management offices and community recreation facility are extremely well thought out and designed with state-of-the art energy and water efficient lighting, air conditioning, appliances, toilets, faucets, shower heads, windows, doors, and more.

I have been continually amazed since day one as I have discovered, or management has added, new features and services to the apartment complex. These cool features and services are too numerous to include here. And unless you are living in a similar apartment, you probably would not want to know anyway.

Having a lifelong interest in home exterior and interior design, I often thought about what features I d include in a 55 plus property after I moved into my first one several years ago. The Nevada Hand property that I am now living in (my 2nd 55+ apt) has every component that I had imagined plus much more, to my amazement, that I never considered.

The thing I like most about Nevada Hand is that it is a non-profit property management and real estate development company. Therefore, their motivations are honorable. There are no self-serving, money-grubbing property owners to deal with here. The founder of Nevada HAND (MM) must be quite an extraordinary man.

The HAND in its name is dealt in favor of its residents. :-)

An extremely grateful Nevada HAND - WP2 resident,
