Awards
Award-winning apartments for over 65 years
Each year, Van Metre Investment Properties competes for industry awards, submitting in categories recognizing our properties, services and people. While we love taking home the hardware, our status as the leader in providing quality apartment homes and services derives even more from the reviews our residents leave on more than 80 different sites about our communities.
