View Fort Worth market analysis →The Surge Take: Cleburne
Cleburne scores 86.6/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #15 of 31 Fort Worth-area submarkets we track. That's mid-pack for the Fort Worth market: not a headline submarket, but often where value hides — mid-tier areas typically have lower acquisition costs and less STR competition than the trophy neighborhoods. The average listing here grosses $29,393/year — about 43% below the Fort Worth metro average, so unit selection and design matter more than usual.
The revenue profile is a $173 average daily rate at 54% occupancy (RevPAR $81). 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, Cleburne falls under Cleburne, which is currently permissive: No STR permit/registration program; 13% total HOT (7% city per Code Ch. 114). Low regulatory friction is a real advantage — just verify HOA and deed restrictions, which apply regardless of city or county rules.
