NexMetro Communities is a U.S.-based real-estate developer specializing in “build-to-rent” (BTR) communities — their branded offering is called Avilla Homes. Since its founding in 2012, NexMetro has focused on creating detached, single-family (or cottage-style) rental homes that combine the convenience of apartments with the privacy and feel of a home.

Rather than traditional multi-family apartment buildings, their model emphasizes suburban-style neighborhoods where each home offers private yard, detached entrance, and finishes akin to a single-family home — appealing to renters who want flexibility without the maintenance or financial commitment of ownership.

Over time, NexMetro has scaled this model significantly: as of their latest public data, they have more than 60 projects either completed, under construction or in development, and have built or planned over 10,000 homes nationwide across multiple Sun-belt markets.
