Together, these recognitions highlight both the strength of HH Red Stone’s operating platform and the consistency of execution taking place at the property level.

HH Red Stone’s placement in the Top 10 student housing companies reinforces the company’s broader operating philosophy: strong property performance starts with strong fundamentals.

The ORA score translates online reputation into operational intelligence. Rather than relying only on star ratings or review volume, ORA looks at both ratings and review content to help operators understand how everyday property performance influences resident perception and reputation outcomes.
Now in its eighth year, the ORA Power Ranking celebrates leaders in student housing that are going above and beyond to enthrall students with their exceptional resident experience and sharp operational focus. Developed by J Turner Research, the ORA Power Rankings are a monthly, independent ranking of apartment properties and management companies based on their ORA scores. A property or management company is not required to be a J Turner Research client to qualify for the ranking, which is published by J Turner’s media partner, Multifamily Executive.
In addition to ranking the Top 25 Student Housing Managers based on ORA scores, J Turner Research also recognized managers through the 2025 Einstein Best of Awards across the five areas of on-site operations most valued by residents: Customer Service, Communication, Cleanliness, Maintenance, and Security. Powered by J Turner Research’s Einstein text categorization tool and proprietary artificial intelligence, Thought Analysis, the Einstein Best of Awards go beyond star ratings to identify the companies setting the standard for operational excellence in student housing. Based on more than 12 million reviews analyzed, HH Red Stone stood out against a highly competitive national field. The company outperformed several larger operators, ranking #1 in Communication, #3 in Cleanliness, #3 in Maintenance, #8 in Customer Service and #19 in Security. The results reinforce the company’s strong resident-first operating approach and highlight the consistency of execution across the operational areas that matter most to students.
“Our focus has always been on building systems and teams that deliver consistency at the property level,” said Ying Wang, Vice President of Operations. “From onboarding and training to maintenance response and resident communication, strong outcomes don’t happen by chance. They are the result of disciplined execution and accountability across every community we manage.”
In J Turner Research’s 2025 Einstein Best of Awards, HH Red Stone ranked No. 1 in Communication, No. 3 in Cleanliness, No. 3 in Maintenance, No. 8 in Customer Service and No. 19 in Security.
For HH Red Stone, the combined recognition is another sign of momentum. As the company continues to expand its management footprint across student housing, multifamily, affordable housing, and mixed-use assets, these results reflect an operating model grounded in disciplined execution, strong resident experience, and owner-aligned performance. In a sector where reputation is earned one resident interaction at a time, the recognition reinforces HH Red Stone’s commitment to protecting assets, serving residents well, and creating long-term value for ownership.
About the ORA Score
Pioneered by J Turner Research, the ORA score is the multifamily industry’s standardized metric for measuring online reputation and resident experience. Calculated on a scale of 0–100 and updated monthly, the ORA score evaluates apartment communities by aggregating ratings and reviews from major review sites and internet listing services. J Turner Research monitors the online ratings and reviews of more than 150,000 properties nationwide.
The ORA algorithm goes beyond simple rating averages by analyzing factors such as review volume, lifetime star ratings, review content, rating consistency, recency of reviews, and the credibility of each review platform. It also considers sentiment across key operational areas commonly discussed in resident feedback, providing a trusted third-party benchmark for comparing properties, portfolios, and markets nationwide.
