Taken care of
Maintenance-free living at The Pines
Lawn care and snow removal are included at The Pines, and maintenance is on call through Kouri Management Corporation. In Iowa, with real winters, that is a larger part of the pitch than it sounds.
What is handled
Lawn care in the warm months and snow removal in the cold ones are taken care of, so the mower and the shovel are not your problem. Maintenance is handled by Kouri Management Corporation, with on-call service, and requests go through the resident portal. Window coverings are already in the homes, so that first weekend is not a trip to the hardware store.
Why it matters here
Iowa has about five months where snow and ice are a routine part of the week. A home where the driveway and the walks are cleared for you, and where there is an attached garage so the car starts out of the weather, changes what a February morning looks like. The same goes for the summer Saturday you would otherwise spend behind a mower.
Add the attached garage, the in-home laundry, central air and the gas fireplace, and the daily upkeep is small. The homes run from 1,360 to 1,800 square feet across four plans, in two and three bedrooms, each with an attached garage, a washer and dryer in the home, central air and a gas fireplace. Live pricing for whatever is open is on the availability page.
