With affordable housing being a hot topic at the national level, Fort Worth is making a big impact on inventory regarding apartment rentals. Did you know that the city of Fort Worth led the nation in quarter 1 of 2023 for fastest growing apartment markets in the country? Burleson, TX, was at the top of the list, with a 20% increase in new inventory units. Not far behind, Keller was at 13%, and Arlington/Mansfield came in at a 12% increase. This growth accounts for over 4,400 new units in our growing city, and we have a considerable need for suppliers across the county now, more than ever. By the end of March 2023 – the DFW Metroplex had around 74,000 new units in development, which is also leading the country for new construction in the multifamily realm.
