Why is Build-for-Rent Housing Good for Your Community?

1 . Build-for-Rent Housing Attracts Residents Who Are Engaged in Their Communities

Build-for-Rent communities have emerged as a desirable alternative to buying a home or renting an apartment. Americans have discovered the benefits of this housing choice: a combination of an amenity-rich single-family home lifestyle with the economics of a cost-effective rental home experience. These are communities where Americans want – and choose – to live, work, raise their children, and be close to loved ones.
