The DFW metroplex is one of the fastest-growing multifamily markets in the country — and renters moving here from tech hubs expect more than gate codes and clickers. Gatewise gives your property smartphone access that matches the standard your leasing team is selling.

Dallas–Fort Worth's explosive growth means new communities are leasing up fast and competing hard for the same renter pool. Properties that still hand out fobs and share gate codes are losing prospects to communities that offer the digital-first experience younger renters treat as a baseline, not a perk.
Your renters want to tour outside business hours. Send time-limited access to model units and amenities — prospects tour on their schedule, credentials expire automatically, and your leasing team sees exactly which spaces they visited.
Residents add their access to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet and tap to enter — just like paying at a coffee shop. Works even when the phone battery dies. No app to launch, no screen to unlock. It's the kind of detail that shows up in resident reviews.
Visitors scan a QR code and video call residents directly — no broken intercoms, no outdated directories, no weather-damaged hardware. Zero hardware installation, works on any phone.
DFW's younger renter demographic entertains frequently. Residents send temporary digital keys from the app instead of sharing gate codes that get passed around. 24-hour windows, automatic expiration, real-time arrival notifications.
Self-guided tours let prospects visit model units and amenities outside business hours with time-limited credentials that expire automatically. Your leasing team gets a full audit trail of every visit — which spaces were accessed and when — so they can follow up with context. Properties using self-guided tours capture leads they'd otherwise lose to competitors with more flexible touring options.
es. Regional managers get a single dashboard with real-time visibility across every property in their portfolio. Monitor gate status, compare access activity, pull standardized reports, and push configuration changes to multiple properties at once — without driving between sites or logging into separate systems.
Residents add their Gatewise credential to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, then tap their phone to the reader to enter. The key advantage: it works even when the phone battery dies — iPhones maintain a power reserve for Wallet functionality. There's no app to open or screen to unlock.
A single click in the Management Portal deactivates all access instantly. When the resident gets a new device, they download the app and log in — access restores in seconds without any action from the office. No physical credentials floating around, and the portal logs the full deactivation and reactivation for your records.
If you're connected to a PMS, access deactivates automatically based on the lease end date. If not, a single click in the Management Portal removes all access instantly — gates, doors, amenities, everything. No unreturned fobs to worry about.
“We had so many gate issues at our properties, we knew we had to try Gatewise. And now, after implementing it at 3 properties, we'll never go back to traditional systems.”
“Everyone here loves it because you can use it from anywhere - you don’t have to be on property to let people in. With gate codes, you can pass that along to a bunch of people, and then all these people have access to the community. Gatewise eliminates that.”
Independent research tracking 600+ properties over three years proves that Gatewise smart access control dramatically improves resident satisfaction and strengthens lease renewal rates compared to traditional systems.
“I 100% recommend Gatewise. No more remembering codes for every gate! With one app I can access all my sites! Shelly has been so helpful as well! She is responsive & constantly follows up to ensure customers are satisfied!”
“From a security/safety standpoint, we love it as operators because there’s no keypad with codes that have been in the system for 10 years that nobody has ever changed. It really gives us control of our gate system which we haven’t had in a long time.”
Gatewise offers a simple and modern gate entry system that provides residents with a mobile app and managers with a cloud-based management portal.
