NMHC Releases Latest Student Housing Income and Expense Benchmarking Survey

Proximity and building size drive rents for student housing properties according to the National Multifamily Housing Council 2019 Student Housing Income and Expense Report.

"This report provides student housing operators and developers with critical financial guideposts to compare both projected and actual performance results," said NMHC Vice President of Research Caitlin Walter.

Key findings of the report include:

• Net rent per bed decreased by five percent for each additional mile away from campus.
• Median rental income for high-rise buildings was over $2,000 higher per bed than mid-rise buildings. High-rise properties also recorded a 57 percent premium over garden-style apartments.
• Garden-style units tended to record the highest vacancy costs, but also the lowest per-bed operating costs.
• Properties built after 2010 commanded a net rental premium of 19 percent compared to properties built before 2000. This is up from 5 percent for properties built between 2006 and 2010.

"The sheer sample size makes this report a valuable tool for all in student housing," said Chris Bruen, NMHC Director of Research.
