American Landmark Expands Community Building With Educator-in-Residence Pilot
American Landmark Expands Community Building With Educator-in-Residence Pilot
October 6, 2025

The Legend will be one of three properties in San Antonio that will be part of American Landmark Apartments' Educator-in-Residence pilot program.

Drawing on the success of its Artist-in-Residence program, American Landmark Apartments is launching a pilot program in the San Antonio market that will provide a year of rent-free housing for teachers in exchange for creating and leading educational programs for residents.


American Landmark’s Educator-in-Residence program will be available at three of its communities—Kenzie Park, The Legend, and The Lynx—with one qualified educator selected for each property.



The program is designed to support all age groups and educational goals and will include academic support, tutoring, and homework help. Additional opportunities may include college prep, financial and digital literacy, reading and writing workshops, resume and interview skills, and language classes.


“Education is a cornerstone of community development, and we’re proud to launch a program that not only supports teachers, but directly enriches the lives of our residents,” says CEO Joe Lubeck. “Residents today are looking for more than a place to live. They want opportunities to be involved in a community and connect on multiple levels that create understanding with neighbors while attaining access to upward mobility for personal goals they may have. This program brings vital educational resources directly into their communities while celebrating the incredible work of teachers.”


According to creative director Rachel Lubeck, the pilot is being launched in San Antonio thanks to Debra Claytor, chief operating officer for Western region operations, and Ana Rendon, regional manager for San Antonio, who spearheaded the initiative.


The pilot will begin this fall, with educators being selected on the breadth of their teaching experience and their ability to meet the diverse needs of the residents. It will build directly on the model of American Landmark’s Artist-in-Residence program, which has provided cost-free housing and studio space to visual, culinary, and fitness artists. Since launching in 2020, it has hosted 32 artists and facilitated over 3,000 resident events at its properties in Arizona, Florida, Nevada, North and South Carolina, and Texas.


“With educators, we are applying the same framework to academic and life-skill enrichment,” Rachel Lubeck says. “While the art, music, and fitness programs have nurtured creativity, wellness, and social connection, the Educator-in-Residence initiative will focus on access to education. By offering tutoring, literacy programs, language classes, college prep, study skills, and career development support, we aim to make higher education and essential learning opportunities more accessible and convenient for our residents.”

In this podcast hosted by MHN's Laura Valean, Elizabeth Roy discusses shifting supply dynamics and what she’s watching as multifamily moves into its next investment cycle.

American Landmark Apartments , one of the nation’s leading multifamily investment managers and owner-operators, has acquired Park Avenue at Boulder Creek, a 292-unit apartment community located in Houston, Texas. The property will be the firm’s 14th asset in the Houston area and rebranded as Toscana Parkway, further expanding American Landmark’s Texas portfolio while strengthening the firm’s presence in one of the nation’s fastest-growing metropolitan areas. Located in southeast Houston adjacent to Pearland, the community benefits from the continued economic and population growth of the Greater Houston metropolitan area, which surpassed 7.9 million residents in 2025 after adding 126,720 new residents, marking the largest population gain of any U.S. metropolitan area (Greater Houston Partnership). The region’s diverse economy is anchored by nationally recognized healthcare, energy, aerospace, manufacturing and logistics industries, creating sustained demand for high-quality multifamily housing. Major employment centers including the Texas Medical Center, Port Houston and NASA’s Johnson Space Center continue to support the region’s long-term economic strength. “Houston continues to distinguish itself as one of the nation’s strongest multifamily investment markets because of its population growth, diverse employment base and long-term economic resilience,” said Elizabeth Roy , Chief Investment Officer at American Landmark Apartments. “Toscana Parkway is a well-located community with direct highway connectivity and immediate access to the retail and everyday amenities residents value. With no new deliveries in the submarket, we see a clear opportunity to invest behind the property’s fundamentals—executing the first capital improvement program since the community was built and bringing American Landmark’s operational expertise and value-add approach to enhance the resident experience for years to come.” Built in 2009, Toscana Parkway offers a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment homes and has not undergone a major capital renovation since its original construction, presenting a clear value-add opportunity. Community amenities include a resort-style saltwater swimming pool, fitness center, sauna, clubhouse, business center, volleyball court, children’s playground and poolside grilling areas. Apartment homes feature spacious floor plans with stainless steel appliances, island kitchens, dishwashers, crown molding, walk-in closets, and private patios or balconies. Located at 11575 Pearland Pkwy, Toscana Parkway offers residents highly accessible connectivity and a deep base of nearby retail. Sam Houston Pkwy is less than five minutes away, providing direct access to Interstate 45 and State Hwy 288 and seamless connectivity throughout the Houston metropolitan area. The community sits approximately 15 minutes from William P. Hobby Airport, 20 minutes from the Texas Medical Center—the largest medical center in the world—and less than 30 minutes from Downtown Houston, with abundant shopping, dining and daily-needs retail within immediate reach. With limited new supply delivered in the submarket, the property is well positioned to capture sustained rental demand. The acquisition aligns with American Landmark’s strategy of investing in well-located multifamily communities across high-growth Sun Belt markets supported by favorable demographic trends and strong long-term economic fundamentals.
