Case Study: Rose Hill of Alexandria Apartments achieves hands-free keyless access and enhanced 24/7 security with Kastle Systems' KastlePresence

A Pioneering Security Solution for a Garden-style Multifamily Property

Rose Hill of Alexandria Apartments, a 54-building garden-style complex in Alexandria, VA, needed a cost-effective way to implement keyless entry across its sprawling property. Managed by A.J. Dwoskin & Associates, the community deployed Kastle Systems’ KastlePresence, a hands-free BYOD Bluetooth access solution that lets residents use their smartphones for unit and common-area entry.

Kastle Systems configured KastlePresence to network all 54 buildings under a single institution, enabling smartphone entry, remote guest unlocking, centralized access logs for easier property management, and improved resident satisfaction. Kastle Systems’ Mobile Sentry/remote video monitoring verified an intruder within weeks (leading to police notification and an arrest), and Kastle’s remote video guarding has demonstrated substantial cost advantages (case examples cite a 51% monthly saving versus a human guard), delivering 24/7 security and measurable operational benefits.
