As a subsidiary of H&R REIT, Lantower Residential develops and manages apartment communities across the Sunbelt markets in the U.S. We’re in the apartment business, sure – but really, we’re in the people business. Our job is to make people feel at home—whether they live in one of our communities or work on our team. That means showing up, caring, and creating experiences that feel real, thoughtful, and human.
When you join us, you become part of something bigger: building great places to live and strong communities around them. We take that seriously – and we take care of our people in return, with competitive benefits, opportunities for training, and time off when you need it.
