As urban areas become more crowded and homeownership slips further out of reach, the build-to-rent (BTR) market is stepping in to fill the gap. Nationwide, more than 110,000 single-family rentals are under construction, set to increase the BTR inventory by 53.5% once completed.  

Georgia’s Build-to-Rent Surge 

• With 9,872 new single-family rentals under construction across 56 communities—and an expected 86.9% boost in rental supply—Georgia is emerging as a key player alongside BTR leaders like Arizona and Texas. 

   

Atlanta Metro Leads the Way 

• The Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell metro is at the center of the state’s BTR boom, with 6,800+ units underway—more than many U.S. states.  

• The Savannah metro comes next, but trails behind Atlanta, with 1,374 new rentals in development, set to double its current BTR inventory.  

• Smaller metros like LaGrange are seeing an impressive growth, with a projected 384% increase in rental supply. 

Smaller Cities with Biggest Growth 

• In Cartersville, 1,000 single-family homes for rent are on the way, translating to a 171% growth in rental supply. 

• McDonough gears up for an over 4x surge in houses for rent, adding around 800 new units. 

• 15 other cities (including Gainesville, Douglasville and Canton) are expected to at least double their BTR supply.
