North Richland Hills scores 94.4/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #7 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 North Richland Hills performs across the board. The average listing here grosses $51,968/year — about 34% above the Fort Worth metro average.
The revenue profile is a $276 average daily rate at 59% occupancy (RevPAR $142). 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.
