What amenities do renters want most? Greystar surveyed more than 90,000 people to find out which amenities they consider nice to have and which amenities they say they can’t live without. The survey revealed widespread interest in amenities focused on sustainability, technology and thoughtful design.

Topping the list of most desired amenities for renters across the country was walk-in closets. Eighty-eight percent of respondents expressed interest in this amenity while 37% said they would not rent an apartment without one. Renters in Miami and Dallas were especially keen on having ample closet space, with more than half of renters considering a walk-in closet a must-have amenity, according to the survey.
