Built-for-rent houses coming to Tampa Bay suburbs as industry booms

Is any company doing this in Omaha?

Built-for-rent houses coming to Tampa Bay suburbs as industry boom


Florida has long been home to the sprawl of suburbia — the landscapes of near-identical houses with emerald lawns are as quintessential to the state as its reptile-filled swamps.

But a new type of suburb is sprouting around Tampa Bay: those with new homes only for rent.

Even as the housing market has an insatiable demand of homes for sale, a growing contingent of companies is focusing on constructing built-for-rent subdivisions for what they describe as an equally hungry clientele that signs leases almost as quickly as the homes can be erected.

They just built a place like that here in Huntsville, AL. 275 single family cottage rentals. Thecottagesatoldmonrovia.com for info and photo gallery. They built the whole place in about six months and I think most were leased shortly after opening. These type developments are popular in California too.
