HHHunt’s Apartment Living division partnered with Everon, a leading security integrator, to introduce a smart home technology package in over 7,700 apartment homes across the Southeast.
The smart home package combines smart locks, smart thermostats and smart home hubs to give residents greater control over their homes. Designed to benefit both residents and on-site teams, this technology helps simplify everyday tasks, streamline community operations and support the exceptional service residents love about HHHunt.
Smart home technology has quickly evolved from a luxury amenity to an expected feature in today’s apartment communities. As technology continues to shape how people live, work and connect, renters increasingly value homes that offer convenience and control.

Industry research from CEDIA (the Association for Smart Home Professionals) and the Business Research Company shows that a growing number of renters actively seek communities that offer smart home features. These innovations simplify everyday tasks while creating a more personalized living experience. At HHHunt, we recognized this shift early and have continued to invest in solutions that align with the evolving needs of today’s residents, enabling us to support modern lifestyles while delivering exceptional service.
The true value of smart home technology is how it improves daily routines. Residents can unlock their apartment doors using a unique access code or through a mobile app from anywhere in the world. Running late to meet a guest? Need to let a dog walker or house sitter in while you’re away? Temporary access codes can easily be created without the need to exchange physical keys.

Smart thermostats also allow residents to adjust their home’s temperature remotely through the mobile app. Whether cooling down the apartment before arriving home from a hot day in the sun or turning up the heat on a chilly morning without getting out of bed, residents can pick the environment that’s right for them with just a few taps.
In select North Carolina communities, including Abberly Liberty Crossing, Abberly Commons, Abberly Alston and Abberly Royal Creek, monitored alarm systems provide an additional layer of peace of mind. Together, these features create a living experience that is more efficient and responsive to residents’ needs.
The benefits of smart apartment technology extend beyond the residents. By integrating with HHHunt’s property management system, these solutions help improve community operations and everyday workflow for our team members.
Smart technology streamlines move-ins and move-outs and allows authorized maintenance personnel to access apartments more efficiently when service requests are submitted. This reduces delays, improves response times and creates a smoother experience for residents and team members.
The best measure of satisfaction is hearing it directly from the people who use these features every day.
“We truly enjoyed living in this apartment community … I loved the convenient smart features, like the electronic lock and digital thermostat. Being able to lock or unlock the door remotely and adjust the temperature before coming home was such a nice bonus.” - Pamela S., Abberly CenterPointe
“Abberly Apartments is a great place to live…I love the smart home keyless entry, since I tend to leave my keys inside, so this is perfect for me.” - Tamera W., Abberly Market Point
“We had a wonderful experience from day 1…I love that you can use the app to lock and unlock your door and set your alarm.” - Tamara W., Abberly Royal Creek
“The apartment is very modern with smart home technology, granite countertops and a swimming pool for a bathtub! The smart home app is great to lock and unlock my door with, keeping my mind at ease when I check and see my door is locked. It also allows me to change my thermostat and arm the alarm system.” - Jared A., Abberly Waterstone
Technology continues to transform the way we live. As smart home solutions rapidly become integrated into everyday life, HHHunt remains committed to investing in innovations that enhance service and create more personalized living experiences. Our partnership with Everon is one example that highlights our commitment to our residents and to improving their lifestyles, because we believe it’s how you live that matters.
