Heyday Oak Creek, a 130-Unit Apartment Community with Single-Family Rental Homes and Maintenance-Free Living
OAK CREEK, WI – May 6, 2024 – Heyday, an Illinois-based real estate developer, celebrates the opening of Heyday Oak Creek, a build-to-rent community featuring 130 single-story single-family attached rental homes in Suburban Milwaukee, Less than a year after breaking ground. Heyday Oak Creek is Heyday’s second community in Wisconsin following the success of Heyday Sun Prairie. Heyday Oak Creek is located 15-minutes from downtown Milwaukee and boasts a superior lifestyle on a 41-acre, pet-friendly community featuring abundant, activated open spaces and walking paths.
“Heyday understands that there is a demand and wide-ranging appeal for this product type,” said Ryan Swingruber, Heyday co-founder and principal. “Our residents want homes in the suburbs that provide space and privacy, but also are maintenance-free. Each Heyday home has its own private entrance, attached garage and is extremely spacious with the average home measuring approximately 1,350 square feet.”
Heyday successfully opened Heyday Sun Prairie, outside of Madison, Wisconsin, in August 2023. Residents have flocked to the offering and enjoyed the well-crafted single-level homes. Like Heyday Sun Prairie, Heyday Oak Creek features a mix of floorplans, ranging from one-bedroom/one-bath to three-bedroom/two-bath layouts with an office. Each home features designer finishes, ample storage, private patios and covered porches, and an industry first — high speed EV charging outlets installed in every attached, private garage. The “Heyday Hub,” a multipurpose room directly off the garage, offers a place for coats and shoes, storage, side-by-side laundry with space to fold, and a private area with a built-in desk. All homes have access to the community’s meaningful outdoor spaces. Additionally, like Heyday Sun Prairie, Daniel Management Group (DMG) will manage and market the property.
“DMG has had the opportunity to be alongside Heyday as they brought this built-to-rent community from vision to fruition in now two communities in Wisconsin,” said Roger Daniel, founder, DMG. “We are excited to extend our partnership with Heyday into Oak Creek and know this property will be well-received and a sought-after living destination like Heyday Sun Prairie.”
Heyday Oak Creek will provide residents elevated apartment living including ranch-style apartment homes and a relaxed community full of walking paths, garden courtyards and open spaces.
“Heyday’s innovative properties are built to create a sense of community that isn’t available in traditional apartment buildings,” said C. Joshua Wohlreich, Heyday co-founder and principal. “Everything from the finishes to apartment entrances are intentional to create an intimate neighborhood feel so that our residents feel as though they are entering their private home.”
Heyday is continuing to pursue opportunities to bring this new rental development concept to more communities.
