Florida Metro Housing

Four Major Rental Markets, One Starting Point

The 2020-2024 American Community Survey shows South Florida, Tampa Bay, Orlando, and Jacksonville as Florida's four largest metropolitan rental markets by renter household count. Choose the area closest to where you want to live, then open the housing pathway that fits.

South Florida

The Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach metro has about 922,000 renter-occupied households, the largest renter base in Florida. A location-first search matters here because Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County cover a wide range of cities and ZIP codes.

Tampa Bay

The Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater metro has about 427,000 renter-occupied households. Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and surrounding communities give renters several distinct areas to consider within one major market.

Orlando

The Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford metro has about 378,000 renter-occupied households. Including the city, ZIP code, commute area, and move-in timing helps keep an apartment or rental home search focused across Central Florida.

Jacksonville

The Jacksonville metro has about 222,000 renter-occupied households. The market spans Jacksonville and surrounding Northeast Florida communities, so the part of the region you want can make a meaningful difference in the search.
