Breaking Down Best/Worst Cities for Renters
I recently received the latest survey on renter satisfaction from Apartmentlist.com - one of the leading information sources and resources for renters. Apartment List’s annual study evaluates cities nationwide across multiple metrics to determine where renters are most satisfied, as well as what key factors drive satisfaction. For example, renters were asked if they felt the city’s economy was on the right track, how they felt about local crime and safety, or how likely they were to recommend the city to friends and family. This year, 10 cities out of the 100 surveyed were given A+ grades by renters for city satisfaction, according to results recently released in Apartment List’s Renter Confidence Survey. The top cities overall were Plano, Texas; Boston, Mass.; and Arlington, Va. While at the bottom of the list were Newark, N.J.; New Haven, Conn.; and Bridgeport, Conn., which each received F grades for renter city satisfaction. Newark renters gave it a D for schools and F grades for safety and the economy. ApartmentList.com surveyed 18,675 renters across the United States, posting other key findings of interest to renters, including these points:
