About The Company
As a premier owner and manager of residential properties, PLK Communities specializes in the acquisition, development, and management of high quality apartment communities. Our portfolio is comprised of multi-family properties in Ohio and Kentucky.
Founded on the principle of offering a “clean, quiet, quality of life," we provide our residents with unparalleled value and personalized service.
