Rental apartments are attracting two different demographics: millennials who are attracted to the urban lifestyle and empty nesters who want to downsize after their kids have left the nest. Much of the rental apartment trend is being fueled by young professionals. They crave living in a place close to everything they need and want.

● Wine rooms
Cutting-Edge Technology is Selling
More renters are expecting their apartment complex to provide cutting-edge technology such as high-speed internet, customizable entertainment packages, smart security, and other apartment technologies.
