For nearly a year, Derek Sitterly and his fiancée Ali Hoskins have been residents on Grand Rapids’ West Side. And while neither Derek nor Ali have family in the area, they’ve found their connection to the city and their sense of community through living at Barley Flats.
“We’ve met a lot of different people, and everyone in our building is very friendly,” Derek said. “The quantity and quality of events have also been really awesome. We really enjoyed the Grand Rapids Drive basketball game and Game Night at Go Java.”
The pair have also benefited from taking advantage of the Rock Perks program, which nets them discounts at the local businesses they love and recently came in handy when Derek’s family came into town for a visit.
Although Derek and Ali have plans to purchase a home in the future, their positive experience with the Rockford Property Management team will keep them at Barley Flats for at least the next year.
