Amenity fees and resident demand for technology

A white paper by Parks Associates, developed in partnership with Groove Technology Solutions, examines the dynamics driving the adoption of technology amenities in multifamily rentals. It explores how these amenities are funded, their impact on operational efficiency and residents’ willingness to pay.

Parks Associates reports that, by 2024, approximately 13 percent of apartment residents in the U.S. lived in units equipped with in-unit smart amenity packages. These packages commonly include smart thermostats, door locks, video doorbells, smart lighting, and connected smoke detectors.

Parks Associates’ consumer surveys reveal that 14 percent of U.S. apartment residents report paying a technology amenity fee, a figure that rises to 21 percent among condo owners. The average monthly fee is $75 for renters and $80 for condo owners.

The Parks Associates white paper concludes that smart technology amenities have become a baseline expectation in new multifamily construction and are increasingly being adopted in older properties.
