Top states for build-to-rent single-family development

  • Texas

    Texas is the national leader in build-to-rent completions, adding nearly 7,000 units in 2024. The state's population growth, expansive land, and diverse economy create an ideal landscape for BTR development.

    Dallas and Houston are at the forefront. Dallas added 3,197 units, while Houston delivered 2,505 units (marking a remarkable 187% year-over-year surge in BTR completions). And demand shows no signs of slowing.

  • Florida

    Florida ranks a strong second in build-to-rent activity, delivering 5,379 new homes in 2024. Jacksonville and Tampa are the state’s key contributors, completing 1,201 and 1,005 units, respectively.

    A warm climate, no state income tax, and continued in-migration fuel steady demand across the state. With more than 7,790 BTR units underway, Florida is a key BTR growth market and a model for the future of single-family rental development.

  • Arizona

    Arizona is one of the nation’s leading states for build-to-rent (BTR) development, driven by rapid growth, investor confidence, and a favorable regulatory environment.

    In 2024, the state delivered 4,812 BTR units, with 4,460 located in the Phoenix metro—the highest of any U.S. metro. Communities like The Bungalows on Camelback exemplify Arizona’s BTR trend, offering comfort and resort-style features tailored to today’s lifestyle preferences.

  • Georgia

    Georgia recorded 4,095 new build-to-rent homes in 2024, with the majority (3,035 BTR units) completed in the Atlanta metro.

    Atlanta’s rising home prices, strong job market, and steady population growth make it an ideal BTR market. Since 2019, the metro’s total build-to-rent inventory has increased 15 times over, going from 547 to 8,100 single-family units. Communities often feature ample space with high-end amenities like pools, fitness centers, and coworking spaces.

  • North Carolina

    North Carolina completed 2,826 build-to-rent homes in 2024, making it one of the most active BTR states. The Charlotte metro led the way with 1,415 units, accounting for about half of the state’s total completions.

    Steady population growth is fueling rising demand for flexible single-family rentals, especially among remote workers and young professionals. Demand is strong in metros like Raleigh-Durham, where renters appreciate convenience and lifestyle-focused communities.

  • California

    California reached a milestone in 2024, completing 1,848 build-to-rent homes — its highest number of BTR completions in at least five years.

    With 2,270 units currently in development, build-to-rent is gaining traction in a state known for valuing comfort and lifestyle amenities. Demand remains strong and occupancy rates are high in BTR communities that offer a mix of privacy, space, and convenience in an increasingly unaffordable housing market.
