The Chamber's Daily Dose: Fort Wayne Ranked #1 with Apartment Renters

Way to go Fort Wayne - we have been ranked the #1 city in the U.S. for satisfaction with apartment renting. That's a significant industry! That means when people look at relocating here (and bringing their consumerism, as well as possibly their own business, with them!), they will see they have good options for a place to live.

The ranking comes from ApartmentRatings.com's first annual Renter Satisfaction Rankings. This site is the largest online rating community for rental housing, and helps users make the best decision when considering renting. The rankings took into consideration customer satisfaction in the top 100 most populous cities in the U.S., and guess what - we came first. In addition to having the most satisfied renters in the country, the ApartmentRatings.com report also mentioned us having been called the #1 minor league sports city by Street & Smith's Business Journal, and having one of the most affordable housing markets in the U.S.

According to Michael Egan, general manager of ApartmentRatings.com, "The consistent mention of pet friendliness, good grounds, helpful management and quick repairs in apartment buildings in Fort Wayne helped it to rise to the top of the list."

Well done Fort Wayne! And now, we'd like to give a nod to all of our Chamber members in this industry - thank you for contributing to this honor!
