Together, our development, construction and award-winning in-house management teams will build and operate best-in-class apartment homes that provide our nation’s policemen, firemen, healthcare workers, teachers and others with the living experience they deserve.”
Apartment interiors in Beckett communities will include wood-plank style flooring, nine-foot ceilings, ceiling fans, stainless steel appliances, electric ranges, granite countertops throughout, kitchen islands, 42-inch custom cabinetry, central heating and air, spacious bedrooms, walk-in closets and full-sized in-home washers and dryers.

“The past couple of years have been an especially exciting time for Mill Creek,” said Darren Schackman, chief investment officer for Mill Creek Residential. “We have continued to develop and operate luxury apartment communities while also launching the Amavi brand of single-family rentals. Now, with the unveiling of Beckett by Mill Creek, we are further expanding our reach into the rental-housing market by providing a product for which there is immense demand. With these three distinct offerings, Mill Creek is providing outstanding housing for a wide variety of renters.”
