NexMetro is comprised of a team of innovators. The company is built on core values that represent the best practices and experiences from seasoned professionals who have spent decades growing businesses and enhancing lives. Recognizing that consumers have fundamentally changed the way they think about the American Dream, what they value and how they choose to live, NexMetro identified an unfulfilled niche in the housing market. Consumers want to live on their own terms with maximum mobility and flexibility, while valuing their personal space and privacy - something a traditional apartment complex can’t provide. NexMetro is building smart and ushering in a new era of housing choices offering the best of both worlds – the lifestyle of a home without the maintenance and other burdens that come with ownership. NexMetro’s Avilla built for rent neighborhoods offer a truly unique home experience where each neighborhood offers the lifestyle of suburban, single-family neighborhood living, without the down payment and burdens that come with a mortgage. Each Avilla community is professionally managed featuring detached, single-level one-, two- and three-bedroom home floorplans. All homes include private backyards, front porches, high ceilings, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and hard-surface flooring throughout, as well as a full-size washer and dryer.
