Top 10 Cities in America For Singles To Rent An Apartment
DENVER (PRWEB) February 21, 2018 -- While some people dream of buying a home and settling down in the suburbs, that lifestyle is not for everyone.
Single young professionals are flocking to major American cities in droves, searching for high-paying jobs, good nightlife and apartments that are within walking distance of shops and restaurants.
The team at Closetbox, a growing, full-service storage company, wanted to find out exactly which U.S. cities are best for singles renting an apartment.
“As the largest, full-service storage company in the world we know how important amenities, access to work and a livable income are to singles looking for an apartment,” said Closetbox Data Scientist Nick Newby.
To determine which cities are best for singles who are renting, Closetbox analyzed a handful of factors for more 75 cities across the country.
The study factored in average income, the percentage of the city’s population that is single, the vacancy rate, the cost of storage and the percentage of people who walk to work. Closetbox used real-time storage rate data and Experian demographic information broken down by zip-code.
The results were surprising to Newby, who pointed out that there are several cities where renters can earn a high wage and find an affordable apartment to rent.
“If you are interested in moving to a city center to take advantage of the lifestyle, you can find good value in cities outside of the ones that normally come to mind — San Francisco, Boston, New York City and Los Angeles,” he said.
