Those two magic words: Utilities Included!
What’s one of your most sought after features when apartment shopping?
We’ve heard it all – from storage space, to in unit washer and dryer, to natural light. Parkville Management has always aimed to keep our monthly rent charges as competitive as we’re able to; and what’s more, we make every effort to include all utilities with each unit.
As you may already know, most of our apartments are one-of-a kind. Some are similar, yes, but overall, your apartment with Parkville Management has its own unique layout. Depending on the housing market demands and our new developments, we make improvements with each new buildout. And one of those improvements is including utilities in each lease. We make the calls to CNG (we’ve memorized their hold music of course) connect with the public works department, and practically have Eversource on speed dial. Most recently, we’ve been outfitting our units for hi-speed fiber internet with Go Netspeed, which is saves you $50/month. Speedy browsing AND saving $50 towards that vacation you’ve been planning for – what could be better?! This not only saves you money, but time, which is arguably more valuable in the long run.
According to Forbes.com, the average monthly cost of utilities in the state of Connecticut in 2024 is $418.71. Bear in mind, this is an average. Connecticut also shares the title for having some of the most costly monthly utility bills, right up there with Hawaii, Georgia and West Virginia. And since 2020, rising inflation has made a significant impact on the increasing cost of utilities. If you’re anything like some of us at PKV, we’re always cold (just ask our maintenance crew who remarks on the tropic-like temps in the leasing office) so utility prices fluctuate, depending on how extreme summer or winter might be in New England. Regardless of these factors, PKV still chooses to include all utilities with as many of our units as we can. Our staff frequently shops comparable apartments in Hartford on a regular basis, in order to see what folks are looking for and what’s being offered. We’ve found that most of our competitors do not include utilities in their leases. Parkville is glad to offer this for your convenience and peace of mind.
