These are the 10 fastest-growing housing markets in the U.S.

Remote and flexible work has driven many Americans out of city centers and towards the suburbs. This has resulted in massive population booms in several once-quiet areas — and with it, a surge in housing developments.

While many cities haven’t been able to keep pace with the burgeoning demand for new developments to satisfy an influx of newcomers, several suburbs across the U.S. have done just that.

“In a landscape characterized by flexible work setups and the post-pandemic search for more space, suburban and exurban areas are growing faster than urban cores,” Doug Ressler, manager of business intelligence at Yardi Matrix, told StorageCafe.

“High-growth suburbs are emerging in areas with natural scenery, especially appealing to remote workers and retirees, as well as in places with high-performing schools near medium or large metro areas with strong job markets, even when that means paying a premium on housing,” he added.

StorageCafe, an online storage space marketplace, analyzed housing stock changes from 2013 to 2022 in roughly 4,100 American cities to determine which cities have kept up with the population boom. These are the 10 fastest-growing U.S. housing markets over that decade.

10. Palmview, Texas

Palmview, in the south of Texas along the U.S.-Mexico border, was the tenth fastest-growing housing market in the U.S. From 2013 to 2022, the city’s housing stock in the city grew 215%, StorageCafe found.

Meanwhile, Palmview’s population grew 175% during that same period.

9. Melissa, Texas

Just outside of Dallas, Melissa saw a 228% jump in housing stock within the 10-year period, making it the ninth-fastest growing housing market in the country during that timeframe. Its population rose 192% between 2013 and 2022.

8. Celina, Texas

And Celina, west of Melissa, came in eighth with a 10-year housing stock growth of 233%. The city’s population grew 237% within that same timeframe.

Horizon West, just outside of Orlando, saw its housing stock grow 234% between 2013 and 2022. In the same decade, the city’s population climbed 285%.

2. Blackwells Mills, New Jersey

The suburb of Blackwell Mills saw 1,980% growth in housing stock over the 10-year period measured by StorageCafe. Its population increased by a whopping 2,292%, with much of that driven by a pandemic-era exodus from the New York City metropolitan area, according to the report.

1. Vineyard, Utah

Vineyard had the fastest-growing housing market from 2013 to 2022, with a whopping 7,204% surge in housing stock. The city’s population grew by 7,054% in the same period. Much of this local growth was driven by the redevelopment of the former Geneva Steel mill, StorageCafe said.
