Family-owned Houston apartment management, done by our own team
Gatesco manages 45 apartment communities across the Houston area. Leasing, maintenance, construction and accounting are all handled by our own team.
Our story
Gary Gates bought his first apartment complex in 1986, and he still owns it today. In 1992, Gary and Melissa Gates organized Gatesco to manage their growing real estate holdings.
Forty years after that first purchase, Gatesco is one of the largest multifamily management companies in Houston. We've stayed family-owned and kept the work close to home: one team handles renovation, leasing and maintenance at every community we manage.

We fix what others pass over
Many of the communities we manage were foreclosures or had been neglected for years when they came to Gatesco. Our in-house construction team brings them back.

Built to keep
Our communities are held for the long term, so there's every reason to take care of the buildings and the people who live in them.
Our own crews
Maintenance and renovation are handled in-house, so repairs don't wait on outside contractors.
