Celebrating Excellence at the 2025 Diamond State Apartment Living Awards in Delaware
Each year, the Delaware Diamond State Apartment Living Awards bring together property teams, management professionals, and communities from across Delaware to recognize the very best in apartment living. The program highlights organizations that demonstrate steady performance, thoughtful service, and consistent care for their residents. This year’s event provided a welcome opportunity to reflect on the work happening across Reybold Group properties, and we are pleased to share that Reybold received a remarkable collection of honors.
The 2025 awards featured categories that evaluated maintenance, leasing, marketing, community leadership, and team performance. These areas represent much more than operational tasks. They speak to daily interactions, long-term planning, and the reliable presence that residents experience throughout the year. We are proud of our teams for approaching these responsibilities with commitment and professionalism.

Team and Individual Achievements
Beyond property-level categories, the awards program also acknowledges the individuals and groups that support their communities in meaningful ways.
- Service Team of the Year: St. Andrews
- Behind the Scenes Employee of the Year: Melissa Fenimore
The Service Team of the Year distinction reflects the reliability and cooperation that define the St. Andrews staff. Their steady teamwork keeps the community running smoothly and sets a strong example for others to follow.
Melissa Fenimore’s recognition as Behind the Scenes Employee of the Year is significant. Her approach, attention to detail, and ongoing support make a direct impact on our residents and colleagues alike.
A Moment of Appreciation
These awards provide a welcome opportunity to pause and acknowledge the individuals who shape each community throughout the year. Their work often begins long before the day starts and continues well after residents have settled in for the evening. Although the recognition is formal, the foundation for these honors is built in countless small moments of care and consistency.
We extend our sincere appreciation to every team member who contributed to this year’s achievements. Your work reinforces the values that guide Reybold and strengthens the communities we serve.
