For today’s renters, peace of mind ranks among the top priorities when choosing a place to live. According to the National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) and Grace Hill’s “2024 Renter Preferences Report”, safety is one of the top three factors influencing leasing decisions – alongside affordability and location.

At Pathfinder, we believe safety goes beyond locks and gates. It’s about creating communities where residents feel confident, cared for and connected. That comes from thoughtful planning, smart technology and proactive management.

Controlled Access and Smart Technology

Keyless smart locks and mobile-based platforms allow residents to manage entry from their phones, assign temporary codes to guests and securely access amenities such as gyms, package rooms and parking – creating seamless integration between residents and management.

AI-Powered Monitoring

AI-enabled camera systems transform traditional surveillance into real-time protection. With intelligent detection and live remote monitoring, unusual activity is identified instantly and addressed promptly, reinforcing residents’ sense of safety and security.

Landscaping

Motion-activated lighting, open sightlines and well-maintained landscaping make properties feel secure and inviting, both day and night. Small design choices have a big impact on residents’ feelings of safety and comfort.

Secure Package Management

As online shopping becomes routine, smart package lockers and automated delivery rooms have become essential. They provide 24/7 secure access for residents and save office staff considerable time in signing for packages and managing deliveries.

A Culture of Care

True safety starts with people. Attentive staff, responsive maintenance and open communication build trust and comfort. Regular safety audits and partnerships with local first responders help maintain high standards and a strong sense of community.

In today’s multifamily landscape, peace of mind is priceless.  That’s why Pathfinder is working diligently to add these safety upgrades across many of our communities. By combining thoughtful design, innovative technology and proactive management, Pathfinder continues to invest not just in properties – but in the quality of life for those who call them home.
