Utopia (Nov 01, 2020)

When you visit the websites for single-family build-to-rent communities, you might not recognize the difference between these and for-sale neighborhoods. The images, marketing copy, and branding feel much the same as a for-sale community, with descriptions such as "You can feel at home in a neighborhood atmosphere where life is quiet and friendly." Or "...discover front porches and winding lakeside trails that encourage strolling and conversation with your neighbors."

And that's exactly the idea.

Build-to-rent communities offer the lifestyle of suburban, single-family neighborhood living, just without the giant down payment and lifetime commitment.

It's that lifestyle (and, for many, the greater affordability) that has sent interest in build-to-rent skyrocketing over the last few years, and investors, developers, and builders are quickly tapping into an underserved and eager market.

A truly unique alternative to the typical rental experience, Avilla Homes neighborhoods feature single level, detached homes for lease in a gated enclave. The one, two and three-bedroom floor plans feature private entrances, outdoor patios and backyards, along with high-end finishes such as 10' ceilings, granite/quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and more. The pet friendly communities offer the perks of neighborhood living with optional garages, resort-style pool, beautifully landscaped recreation areas, and even an electric car charging station - all maintained by a professional management company, without mortgage payments or HOA fees.

In partnership with its affiliated companies, NexMetro has developed Avilla Homes neighborhoods since 2010 in key Sunbelt locations. Combining elements of residential single-family living with rental terms and management, NexMetro provides a growing market niche of consumers a leased home experience like no other.
