View Dallas market analysis →The Surge Take: Cedar Hill
Cedar Hill scores 41.5/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #54 of 55 Dallas-area submarkets we track. That's in the lower tier of the Dallas market on our score, which usually reflects thinner guest demand. Deals here need to be underwritten conservatively — the entry price has to do the heavy lifting. The average listing here grosses $43,702/year — about 11% below the Dallas metro average, so unit selection and design matter more than usual.
The revenue profile is a $262 average daily rate at 52% occupancy (RevPAR $120). That ADR sits at the premium end, which rewards larger, well-designed properties that photograph well and sleep groups. As a suburban submarket, demand skews toward families, relocations, and medical or project stays — larger homes tend to outperform.
Regulation-wise, Cedar Hill falls under Cedar Hill, which allows short-term rentals with compliance requirements — STRs allowed but require annual rental registration + RRCO at each guest turnover. Registration-style regimes are manageable and tend to thin out casual competition, which can favor professional operators.
