As home prices in major cities continue to increase, there's a growing trend of young people moving to the suburbs. According to a report from storage marketing platform StorageCafe, suburban areas across the U.S. are now growing faster than major cities. This is largely due to the high cost of living combined with hybrid and remote work trends that allow people to move farther from city centers. However, some states are seeing higher rates of suburban population growth than others. The report found housing expansion is more prevalent in the South, with seven of the top 20 fastest-growing suburbs being in Texas and five in Florida.
These states have attracted people from across the U.S., notably from California and New York. Their warm climates, low taxes and abundant recreational activities, including beautiful scenery and theme parks, make them standout relocation hotspots. Dallas suburbs are top choices for young talent seeking job opportunities in the metroplex, while Austin and Houston offer access to a robust tech scene and a cosmopolitan vibe that rivals any coastal hub. Areas like The Villages in Florida cater specifically to retirees, offering a variety of amenities and a community-oriented lifestyle that appeals to older adults looking for a supportive environment to spend their retirement years.
