Community Manager - Stone Cliff

Most Community Manager roles exist at the intersection of two businesses: the business of keeping residents happy and the business of running a financially sound asset. At a well-capitalized operator like MG Properties, those two priorities are expected to reinforce each other, not compete. Stone Cliff Apartments in Aurora, CO is looking for someone who already understands that tension and knows how to manage through it.

What This Role Actually Requires

MG Properties brings over three decades of acquisition, development, and management experience across the Western U.S., so the operational expectations here are real. You'll carry full responsibility for the property: building and developing your on-site team, executing the marketing strategy, managing the budget line by line, and keeping daily operations running at a level that protects both NOI and resident satisfaction. This isn't a role where you inherit a finished team and a stable lease-up. You'll be expected to train the people around you and set the standard for how the site performs.

The required foundation is at least two years of management or supervisory experience in property management. You'll need demonstrated competency across operations, sales, and marketing, along with a working comfort level with property management software. Yardi experience is preferred, though any comparable platform translates well. What matters is that you can pull reporting, track delinquency, and read your numbers without needing someone to walk you through it each time.

What This Role Builds

If you've been a strong Assistant Manager or a site lead at a smaller property, this is the kind of role that sharpens your instincts around budget ownership and team accountability at a higher level. Managing under an established regional operator gives you exposure to standardized systems, institutional reporting expectations, and the kind of performance benchmarks that translate directly to larger assets or multi-site oversight down the road. Community Managers who succeed at companies like MG Properties often move into regional or district-level roles because they've learned to think about a property the way an asset manager does, not just the way a leasing professional does.

Strong candidates will come in knowing the difference between managing to occupancy and managing to NOI. Keeping units full matters, but understanding how concessions, MTM exposure, and controllable expenses affect the bottom line is what separates a good site manager from a great one. Aurora's rental market has seen meaningful supply additions in recent years, which means traffic conversion and retention aren't things you can treat as secondary concerns.

• Minimum two years of property management supervisory experience
• Proficiency with Yardi or comparable property management software
• Demonstrated skills in marketing, budget management, and leasing operations
• Team development and coaching ability

Compensation is positioned at $84,000 to $86,000 annually, with bonus incentives, a 401(k) with company match, full medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off and holidays, and rental discounts. This position is anticipated to be filled in June 2026.
