Crestview Management, LLC

What Crestview Management, LLC does

Crestview Management, LLC is a privately held, locally-owned residential property management company headquartered at 270 Littleton Street in West Lafayette, Indiana. Founded in 1966, the company operates seven apartment communities — Crestview North, Crestview I, Crestview II, Crestview II+, Crestview III, Crestview IV, and Crestview Riverbend — all located within half a mile of the Purdue Memorial Union. The portfolio offers studios, lofts, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and four-bedroom floor plans at advertised rents ranging from $530 to $1,115 per month, with per-bed pricing available on shared units. The customer base is almost entirely Purdue University students (primary) and faculty/staff (secondary), making the business structurally a student-housing operator tightly coupled to Purdue's enrollment cycle.

The operating stack is built on the AppFolio Property Manager platform, which powers the company's online resident portal (cvapt.appfolio.com) for rental applications, rent collection, maintenance requests, and renter's insurance. Kuula is integrated to provide virtual tours of each unit type across the portfolio, enabling remote prospect viewing. Marketing is direct-to-consumer via the company website, supported by a physical leasing office at 270 Littleton Street with published business hours, plus phone and email channels. The Cedar Property Management branding on the website suggests a professionalized operating entity.

Crestview's revenue model is straightforward recurring monthly rental income on per-unit leases, with security deposits equal to one month's rent and an application fee of $35. Lease terms are aligned to academic-year cycles, and the company is preleasing 2026–2027 inventory, indicating forward capacity planning. With a 15-person team, no external capital, no parent company, and no disclosed M&A activity, Crestview is a stable, mature small operator rather than a growth-stage company.

Emerging players

• Core Spaces: Purpose-built student housing developer and operator targeting top university markets including the Midwest. Comparable end-customer (university students) and product category (off-campus student apartments).

Broad incumbents

• American Campus Communities: Large-scale student housing owner/operator (acquired by Blackstone). Comparable end-customer focus and university-adjacent operating model, but operates at vastly larger scale and is a public-market benchmark.
