According to Susan Anderson, CEO of Community Home Partners: "We have been actively renovating and replacing our properties since 2005. Community Home Partners is committed to building new communities based on transition and hope. The renovation of Two Rivers Point is only the latest milestone on our journey to provide more housing options to the people of Rock Island, creating ‘communities of choice’ that are a source of pride to those who call it home.”
As part of the Two Rivers Point remodel, every one of the studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments received a complete “makeover.” This includes new flooring, baseboards and paint. All kitchens were renovated to provide improved functionality with new countertops and cabinets. New appliances were installed, including Energy Star stoves, refrigerators and microwave ovens. Bathroom tubs, sinks and vanities were replaced, and lower towel racks added along with accessible handles on cabinet doors and drawers. Exterior improvements include tuckpointing and sealing the brickwork, new landscaping, updated signage and a new patio with sidewalks outside the community room. In addition, new roofing was added; the boiler system replaced; and, other cosmetic improvements made, including parking area repairs and re-striping where appropriate.
