Founded in the mid 1960's as a family owned business, Associated Estates Realty Corporation (AEC) has built over 40 apartment communities in Northeast Ohio. In 1993, the company went public and shares in this real estate investment trust began to trade on the New York Stock Exchange. Shortly after going public, Associated Estates purchased Mallard's Crossing, built in 1990, in Medina. With over 100 apartment communities throughout twelve states, the company's experience and expertise have turned Mallard's Crossing into one of Medina's premier apartment communities. We visited recently with Vice President of Investor Relations and Corporate Communications Barbara E. Hasenstab and Property Manager Melissa Ware, toured their lovely facilities, and listened as they told of Mallard's Crossing's exquisite offerings;

Mallard's Crossing is a 192 unit, family friendly apartment community located on a magnificent, 15 acre wooded nature preserve with a running brook and waterfall. We offer a wide range of amenities including a heated swimming pool, sand volleyball court, community clubhouse, fitness center, playground equipment, and a picnic area complete with charcoal grills and picnic tables.

We offer one and two bedroom apartment homes in four different floor plans. Our upstairs apartments feature cable-ready lofts with cathedral ceilings and skylights overlooking the living room area. Each apartment home has washer and dryer hook-ups for both gas and electric dryers, dishwashers, garbage disposals, pre-wiring for high speed Internet access, hallway entrance intercoms, and frost-free refrigerators. We have a patio or balcony for each apartment home and we have beautiful gas fireplaces that will add warmth and beauty to your home with the flip of a switch. Our entrance ways include locked security doors and our private, one-car, detached garages are equipped with remote controls. We're pet friendly and offer discounts to senior citizens and employees of select local businesses.

Mallard's Crossing and Associated Estates are very community oriented.
