Places Management is DHN's property management division, bringing our people-first approach to boutique property management. We transform small to mid-sized apartment complexes into communities people love, which means happier residents, less turnover, and better returns for property owners.
We built Places Management around a simple belief: boutique properties deserve management that’s as unique as they are.
In 2016, our founder Darsey Nicklasson was managing her own boutique properties in Colorado Springs when she noticed something troubling: the available management options simply weren’t built for communities like hers. Large companies prioritized massive complexes, while smaller operators lacked the systems to deliver consistent results.
“If we want something done right,” she decided, “we’ll have to build it ourselves.”
What started as a solution to one owner’s frustration has grown into a vision for transforming property management for boutique communities throughout Colorado Springs and beyond.
Ever notice how most property management companies either want massive complexes or barely return your calls? We noticed too.
Places Management was built differently, specifically for properties of 25-150 units—that sweet spot where others see “too small” but we see just right.
Think of us as your property’s perfect match: big enough to deliver professional service and proven returns, but focused enough to treat your investment with the attention it deserves.
While others chase skyscrapers, we’re busy perfecting the art of boutique property success with transparent management, genuine community building, and a service team that actually picks up the phone. Because we believe the middle ground isn’t just somewhere to be – it’s where great things happen.
