What Are Amenities?
This article explains the new Amenities feature, how it works in Carson, and what you need to know before coordinating with the Carson team to enable it.
Amenities are shared building spaces that require controlled access separate from unit doors. Examples include gyms, garages, pools, lounges, and other common areas.
When your building was originally configured in Carson, a dedicated Amenities feature was not yet available. Access to shared spaces was therefore structured using an alternative configuration method.
With this new enhancement, Carson now supports a purpose-built Amenities feature designed specifically to manage shared space access more cleanly and efficiently.
The Amenities feature allows building teams to:
- Control which Residents can unlock and use specific Amenity spaces
- Restrict access to paid or membership-based Amenities
- Manage access for both Residents and Staff
- Configure access based on building rules or property policies
Please review this guide in full before submitting a request to Carson to enable Amenities. Doing so ensures proper understanding, confirms eligibility, and helps avoid setup delays.
Supported Systems

Requirements include:
