Alex Arlington. Arlington is #6 in Texas and #14 in US Cities for renter interest

Alex’s Take: We find or manage rentals only as part of our Client Centric business model. So, you may be asking: “Why does Alex care about rental trends? Because it is a “leading indicator.” It tells you where people are moving faster than home purchases.Surprised that Arlington is #6 in Texas? Hey, it’s the seventh largest largest Texas City. It sits between Dallas and Fort Worth. And, it’s a suburb. No surprise.
