With Wi-Fi Now Standard, MDU Renters Seek Smart Amenities: Parks

Remote work trends have led to a push for smart home amenities from multi-dwelling unit (MDU) tenants, Parks Associates said Wednesday. Some 65% of MDU tenants in a Parks survey said they look to preinstalled smart home devices as a key feature now that Wi-Fi is a standard amenity, said analyst Kristen Hanich. Parks is holding a webinar Thursday at 1 p.m. on planning and partnerships for smart apartments.
