NexMetro is one of the nation's largest single-family rental community developers, specializing in building communities for consumers seeking a home that rents like an apartment but lives like a single family house. NexMetro develops single family rental communities marketed under the name Avilla Homes. Avilla neighborhoods combine the benefits of luxury residential single-family living with the convenience, flexibility, and professional on-site management of a Class A apartment community. The result is a new residential hybrid housing option, detached single story homes in prime suburban locations that are highly differentiated from traditional rental products. Founded in 2012 and a pioneer in the space, NexMetro has over $2.0 billion underway, in development, or completed, comprised of over 50 properties spanning locales from Arizona to Florida.
