We believe apartment buildings should feel like neighborhoods—not just addresses. SocialResidency is the platform making that possible, one community at a time.
For decades, apartment living has gotten more isolated. Buildings got bigger, but communities got smaller. Residents live feet apart but never meet. They move out not because of the apartment—but because they never felt at home.
SocialResidency exists to reverse that trend. We give residents a private platform to connect with their neighbors, discover what's happening in their building, and actually feel like part of something. And we give property managers the tools to make community a competitive advantage.
Because when residents are connected, they stay longer. And when they stay longer, everyone wins.
SocialResidency wasn't born in a boardroom. It started with a simple observation: apartment buildings are full of potential friends, collaborators, and community—but most of us never tap into it.
Our founder had lived in apartment complexes for years. Nice buildings. Good amenities. But something was always missing. The hallway nods never turned into conversations. The community events were sparse and awkward. The only time neighbors interacted was to complain about packages or parking.
“I realized the problem wasn't the people—it was the infrastructure. There was no easy way to connect.”
So we built one. A private, verified platform just for apartment communities. A place where residents could share updates, organize events, meet neighbors with similar interests, and actually feel like they belong somewhere.
We piloted at a 700-unit property in Puget Sound. The feedback was unanimous: residents wanted this. They just needed the tool to make it happen. Now we're scaling to properties nationwide—with 29,000 units in active discussions.
DK is a builder. By day, he works as a Service Engineer handling enterprise systems at a major healthcare organization. By early morning and late night, he's shipping products.
SocialResidency is one of multiple ventures he's built from scratch—including AeroPerk, a peer-to-peer delivery platform connecting travelers with senders. He's bootstrapped both while working full-time and pursuing his bachelor's degree.
His approach is simple: find real problems, build real solutions, and let traction speak louder than pitch decks. No VC backing. No Stanford pedigree. Just relentless execution from Tacoma, Washington.
The principles that guide every decision we make.
Every feature we build starts with one question: does this help residents connect? If not, we don't build it.
Residents control their data. Verified access only. No strangers, no spam, no selling information to advertisers.
We believe in learning from real users, not endless planning. Get it live, get feedback, make it better.
We measure success by resident retention and satisfaction—not vanity metrics or feature counts.
Community shouldn't be a luxury amenity. We design for every resident, regardless of tech comfort level.
We're building infrastructure that lasts. No growth hacks, no shortcuts—just sustainable value creation.
Frustration with disconnected apartment living leads to the first sketches of what would become SocialResidency.
Development starts in earnest. Nights and weekends dedicated to building the core platform.
Boulders at Puget Sound becomes our first pilot property. 700 units. Real residents. Real feedback.
100% positive feedback from early residents. Conversations begin with property management for 29,000-unit expansion.
Building the team, refining the product, and bringing connected communities to apartment buildings everywhere.
We're not just building an app. We're building the infrastructure for a new kind of apartment living—where residents know their neighbors, feel connected to their community, and actually want to stay. Where property managers see community as a measurable competitive advantage. Where the apartment industry moves from transactional to relational.
Whether you're a resident looking to connect or a property manager ready to differentiate—we'd love to hear from you.
