View Fort Worth market analysis →The Surge Take: Bedford
Bedford scores 92.1/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #10 of 31 Fort Worth-area submarkets we track. That puts it in the top tier of the Fort Worth market — the score blends guest demand drivers, proximity to attractions and employers, and property fundamentals, and Bedford performs across the board. The average listing here grosses $38,035/year — about 26% below the Fort Worth metro average, so unit selection and design matter more than usual.
The revenue profile is a $205 average daily rate at 64% occupancy (RevPAR $104). 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.
The key caveat is regulation: Bedford restricts short-term rentals — Registration required; residential-only, 1,000-ft separation rule, annual fire inspection. Parcel-level due diligence is essential here; confirm the specific property is eligible before underwriting STR income.
