We’re changing how we work so others can transform how they live.
Be a part of an industry-wide transformation
In 2022, we transitioned our entire business model to elevate value-conscious living within the real estate sector. As the oldest real estate investment trust in the country, we have the opportunity to close the affordability gap, ensuring every renter is treated with respect, kindness, and empathy—no matter their price point.
We’re looking for innovative team members to create a world-class resident experience. We thrive on creativity, curiosity, and new insights, and are rapidly expanding our team. At Elme, we believe in taking care of one another—promoting a work-life balance, career development opportunities, and a healthy lifestyle—so that we, in turn, can do the same for our residents.

What drives us
Our values define how we treat our residents, our investors, and ourselves, and determine how we conduct ourselves both in and outside the office.
We are one team.
We give our all to each other, every day. We face challenges together. We encourage differences of opinion, new perspectives, and individual experiences while collectively working towards common goals. We start and finish the race together.
We empower.
We empower our team members at all levels to use their unique insight and skills. We provide the tools needed to collaborate on ideas and make decisions to improve our company and our communities.

We are welcoming and down-to-earth. We create an inclusive environment where transparency and connection are prioritized. We strive to build trust and add value with every interaction. We are available—for both our residents and for each other.
We are community obsessed.
We see opportunities for nurturing community—both among our team and at our residential communities, while actively seeking ways we can be a positive force within the wider communities in which we are located. We consider our residents in every action we take.
