• In build-to-rent communities across the 100 largest U.S. metros, single-family homes go from just under 1,000 to 1,800 and even 2,000 square feet, with the added bonus of on-site maintenance and access to pools, fitness centers, playgrounds and sports courts.

• The most spacious house rentals are where you don’t expect them: Spacious homes are usually the norm in states like Colorado, Texas, Utah or Arizona. However, when it comes to build-to-rent communities, the East Coast rewrites the rules. Metros in Connecticut, North Carolina, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina dominate the top 10.

• Move over, Texas! With averages of 1,700+ and even 2,000+ square feet, house renters will find the most spacious single-family homes for rent in metros like Bridgeport, CT; Raleigh, NC; Palm Bay, FL; Washington, D.C. and Atlanta, GA.

• In 20 more metros, houses for rent average 1,500 to 1,700 square feet, offering renters plenty of elbow room.

• Space is just one of the perks that single-family home renters can expect: Aside from having maintenance and repairs covered, most of these communities also offer their residents access to pools, gyms, spas and fitness centers, sports courts and playgrounds.

Americans’ love affair with the single-family home has been changing. As incomes are slowly creeping up but home prices and mortgage rates remain prohibitive, more and more renters are looking for their own win-win property scenario: How could they enjoy the space a single-family home provides and also avoid the stress that comes along with affordability, mortgage rates fluctuations and maintenance?

Enter the house rental.

The average house rental in U.S. build-to-rent communities boasts 2.5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, spanning a generous 1,355 square feet. That’s less than the typical for-sale single-family home, which reached 2,480 square feet in 2021. However, given the zoning constraints that developers face when building houses for rent and their desire to balance affordability and profit, house rentals in build-to-rent communities emerge as the best option for renters looking for that extra bit of space, convenience and peace of mind.

So, where can renters get that? Where can they find the most spacious houses for rent that can accommodate their changing needs and their desire for more living space, more privacy and better housing features and amenities?

Available living space varies greatly in the 100 largest U.S. metros, according to data from Yardi Matrix, which covers build-to-rent communities containing at least 50 single-family rental units across the country.

From just under 1,000 square feet in Albuquerque, NM and San Francisco, CA to 2,000+ square feet in Bridgeport, CT, the amount of space that renters can get is clearly influenced by local zoning laws, available land, building costs and, of course, demand.
