View Dallas market analysis →The Surge Take: Celina
Celina scores 60.0/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #41 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 $40,571/year — about 18% below the Dallas metro average, so unit selection and design matter more than usual.
The revenue profile is a $223 average daily rate at 58% occupancy (RevPAR $111). That's a healthy mid-market ADR — the sweet spot for durable demand from both leisure and work travel. As a suburban submarket, demand skews toward families, relocations, and medical or project stays — larger homes tend to outperform.
On the regulatory side, Celina falls under Celina, which is currently permissive: No dedicated STR ordinance found; long-term rental registration exists. Low regulatory friction is a real advantage — just verify HOA and deed restrictions, which apply regardless of city or county rules.
