Awards Program

Award Program

The Rental Awards Program

This program is for Apartment Association members in Northwestern Pennsylvania who provide outstanding exterior improvements to their rental units during the current year.  The intent of the AANP Exterior Improvement Rental Awards Program is to recognize members that take pride in their properties, through upgrading and improvements.  Improving the housing market in Northwestern Pennsylvania also improves the neighborhoods and creates a better place to own and manage income properties.  The Rental Awards Program is based upon a "curbside view".  Judges do walk on the property so that the backyard can be reviewed.

The Flip Awards Program

This program is for Apartment Association members in Northwestern Pennsylvania who provide outstanding improvements to a residential property in the past 12 months.  The intent of this AANP Flip Awards Program is to recognize members for improving properties.  Improving the housing market in Northwestern Pennsylvania improves the neighborhoods and creates a better place to own and manage income properties.
