Forney scores 84.0/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #16 of 55 Dallas-area submarkets we track. That puts it in the top tier of the Dallas market — the score blends guest demand drivers, proximity to attractions and employers, and property fundamentals, and Forney performs across the board. The average listing here grosses $35,623/year — about 11% below the Dallas metro average, so unit selection and design matter more than usual.
The revenue profile is a $193 average daily rate at 60% occupancy (RevPAR $98). 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.
