With the pandemic translating to a work-from-home shift for countless companies, the suburbs have a new-found appeal for renters with their abundance of space, larger apartments and homes and often lower rents compared to big cities.

With thousands of new suburban apartments opening in recent years, renters have many popular locations from which to choose. And if work-from-home becomes the new normal, a significant reversal of recent homebuilding patterns may emerge, according to a housing study by Harvard University.

With this in mind, Yardi Matrix analyzed apartment construction data in more than 1,300 suburbs across the nation to determine which suburbs offer the most renter options. The Yardi Matrix data analyzed large-scale apartment buildings of 50 units or more in search of suburban areas that have the most plentiful developments.
