Albany, NY – January 2020 – 1600 East Avenue, Hampshire and Country Club Manor have been recognized among the Elite 1% properties in the nation with the best online reputation for 2019. The Elite 1% ORA™ Power Ranking is an annual ranking developed by J Turner Research. Based on monthly online reputation research of over 116,000 apartments across 21+ review sites and Internet Listing Services (ILSs), J Turner assigns an independent Online Reputation Assessment Score (ORA™ Score) to each property, and this score determines a property’s rank. J Turner Research is an independent market research and online reputation management company exclusively serving the multifamily industry.

For the year 2019, a total of 1,290 properties earned the Elite 1% distinction. To be eligible for this ranking, a property had to register a minimum ORA™ score of 90. For properties with the same ORA™ score, the property with the higher number of reviews ranked higher. The national average ORA™ is 63.05.

The ORA™ score, based on a scale of 0–100, is an aggregate compilation of an apartment’s ratings across 21+ review sites and ILSs. 1600 East Avenue, Hampshire and Country Club Manor scored 86, 303 and 785. The national average score is 63.05. The ORA™ score is the multifamily industry’s standard to measure and benchmark a property’s online reputation.

The annual Elite 1% ranking is part of the ORA™ Power Ranking series published by Multifamily Executive (MFE). Each month, MFE features a ranking of properties and management companies based on their ORA™ scores. A property or a management company does not have to be a J Turner Research client to qualify for this ranking. To learn more about ORA™, please visit www.jturnerresearch.com/about/what-is-ora-score.
