With summer in full swing, more renters are thinking about where they want to live. Some are doing so by choice and others because they can't find or afford a single-family house. 

Where they want to land of late has now been announced by RentCafé in its July report, which looked at 30 in-demand cities for renters. With its move to first place, Arlington, Va., displaced Kansas City, Mo., which slipped to fifth after being at the top for two months. 

In second place was a Southern favorite, Orlando, and in third another Heartland city, Cincinnati. Two other markets where renters have headed are New York's Bronx and Queens boroughs, which each climbed higher. The Bronx moved up five slots to No. 9 and Queens rose six positions to be No. 19. Altogether, the winners reflect a nice geographic diversity. As part of that is the Northeast's greater popularity with two new locations of Buffalo, N.Y., and Boston.
