The Surge Take: North Richland Hills

North Richland Hills scores 90.6/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #13 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. Average listings gross $51,298/year, roughly in line with the Fort Worth metro average.

The revenue profile is a $270 average daily rate at 60% occupancy (RevPAR $141). 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.

The key caveat is regulation: North Richland Hills restricts short-term rentals — Strict 2025 ordinance: no new STRs in single-family neighborhoods; only multi-family/commercial/TOD zones. Parcel-level due diligence is essential here; confirm the specific property is eligible before underwriting STR income.
