Editor — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 17:43:42 +0000

Call Hughes Real Estate for all your renting needs.

We deal with both single family homes & commercial leasing.

Have you considered renting instead of buying your home? There is no denying that home ownership can have its advantages: It helps build wealth through accumulated home equity and appreciation, provides tax benefits and offers a sense of autonomy. But sometimes remaining a renter—and roughly 30% of American households fall into this group—makes more sense. Call us today and we can help you make your own determination about renting vs buying!

Aspen Court

Editor — Tue, 18 May 2010 12:01:16 +0000

In October of 2009 Chris Saunders owner of Green Street Realty purchased Scottswood Manor in Urbana. The property has been known for its bad publicity for crime, having said that; it also has the potential to be a welcoming home for citizens who are in need of affordable housing. I came on board from the properties inception. I have the opportunity to be part of a team effort in the change of a community as well as the property. Scottwood Manor is now called Aspen Court and has made many changes. We work closely with Urbana Police Department in an effort to diminish the unfavorable atmosphere that was present upon our arrival. I would have to say it is paying off. In the upcoming months you will see a property grow and happy residents. Come by and take a visit.

Property Professional for January 2010

Eastland Apartments, the newest contemporary studio apartments in Champaign-Urbana, offer the luxury you want and the comfort you deserve. Newly constructed in the Summer of 2009 by The Snyder Companies (www.thesnydercompanies.com), every unit is smartly designed with a stacked washer and dryer, full size kitchen appliances, spacious bathroom and a private patio or balcony. Feel comfortable within our park-like setting with mature shade trees and an open air courtyard. Residents have complimentary access to an indoor heated swimming pool, sauna and work-out facility year round. Off street parking is an additional bonus. Furnished and unfurnished units are available for a 6 month to 1 year lease.

Although originally designed with students in mind, we have found many of our residents to be corporate executives relocating to Champaign-Urbana, local artists wanting an upscale option near Uptown Urbana and recent college graduates starting their new career adventures. In fact, the studio units leased so quickly and have remained at 100% occupancy since Summer 2009, another new building is planned for Spring 2010! Based on the inquiries and responses received from tours of the studio units, the new building may be a combination of studio and one-bedroom floor plans.

Right now, live easy. Live at Eastland Apartments.

ONE North | ONE South

Editor — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 10:09:53 +0000

When they were developed a decade ago, Melrose Apartments and University Commons were the newest, biggest and most popular off-campus housing complexes in Urbana-Champaign. But ten years later, then named Campus Connection and Lincoln View, the properties had fallen far behind newer competition and entered mortgage foreclosure. Enter The Scion Group of Chicago. In December 2008, Scion purchased both complexes from a court-appointed receiver and immediately began work on a dramatic repositioning, investing nearly $2 million in improvements and building a new management team that has dramatically improved resident satisfaction. Now known as ONE (ONE North and ONE South), these communities offer a mix of apartment types ranging from 1 to 4 bedrooms with up to 4 bathrooms and the convenience of being just minutes from the University of Illinois and Parkland College. The wide array of resort-style amenities include indoor and outdoor pools, hot tub, game rooms, tennis and volleyball courts and a dramatic media room. All of this is offered at extremely competitive rates which, together with ONE’s location, convenience to bus transportation, amenities and management quality, distinguish ONE from competing properties. The theme at ONE is definitely true: More features, better value.

Neves Group

Editor — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 11:01:26 +0000

Neves Group is owned by Rich and Christy Gibas. The office is located at 801 W. Bradley Ave, Champaign.

Neves Group was a late night idea originally dreamt up by Rich Gibas and his dad after watching the infomercial by Carlton Sheets, No Money Down. Rich convinced six friends to put $50 into an account monthly, saving to buy the first “No Money Down” property. During one of the early meetings, one of the partners doodled seven backwards and Neves was born. The first single family home was purchased in 1998. Currently Neves Group owns 1 single family house, 3 small apartment buildings and a commercial building.

Today Neves Group has morphed into a business that has exceeded Rich’s expectations. Neves Group has actually divided and is two companies. Neves Group Investments, LLC still invests in property and Rich has a maintenance division run from this company. Neves Group Property Management, INC was established in 2007 when Christy was asked to manage one single family house. Currently Neves Group Property Management, INC manages more than 300 units for 80+ owners.

We manage all types of rental properties. We specialize in single family homes and small to medium apartment buildings. Our philosophy is to provide safe, quality, affordable housing to everyone. We strive to be the best for our property owners as well as our tenants.
