Dwellsy Announces 2021 List of Top Cities for Renters
A new resource from Dwellsy highlights the cities that best suit renters’ needs
Dwellsy published its 2021 ranking of best cities in America for renters. Taking into consideration a number of factors such as rent prices, availability, employment, schools and health we ranked over 350 metropolitan areas on their attractiveness for renters.
At Dwellsy, we know there is a city and a great rental home out there for every renter, but we wanted to find out which cities were the most renter-friendly of all. In order to start creating our list, we crunched data sets including rent prices, healthcare availability, employment/unemployment and many more. Then, we also looked at several different qualitative factors, like local arts and food scenes. This combination of different factors allowed us to consider cities holistically, much like a renter looking for a place might do.
“Most lists of best places to live in America are written from the perspective of home buyers; we wanted to create a ranking that takes into consideration the unique preferences and needs of renters.” Jonas Bordo, CEO and Co-Founder of Dwellsy. By weighing all these variables, we are proud to present a list of cities that scored well overall: “The Top Cities for Renters in 2021.”
With high-quality schools, affordable rentals, and low unemployment rates, it is no surprise that the Midwest stood out as one of the best regions in America to be a renter. In fact, all of our top three cities are located in this region: Fargo, ND, Sioux Falls, SD, and Lincoln, Nebraska. With its three universities and thriving cultural scene, Fargo came in as our top city for renters in America. Fargo is often cited as one of the best job markets and one of the best cities for starting a career. Lincoln, number two on our list, has a remarkably low unemployment rate at only 3.3% and many career opportunities in healthcare. At number three, Sioux Falls stands out as one of the healthiest cities in America and even has a thriving local poetry scene.
