Texas continues to stand out as one of the strongest regions for multifamily development. According to Multi-Housing News, Dallas, Austin and Houston all ranked among the top 10 U.S. markets for multifamily deliveries in 2025. As new communities enter the market, property owners and managers are facing a clear opportunity: keep existing assets competitive, functional and ready for resident expectations.
Dallas Remains a National Leader
Dallas-Fort Worth ranked first in the country for multifamily deliveries, with 40,666 units completed across 162 properties in 2025. The market also had the largest development pipeline among the metros listed, with 48,859 apartments under construction at the start of 2026. Even as new construction starts slow down, the volume of new supply keeps pressure on existing communities to maintain strong property conditions, updated amenities and well-managed exterior spaces.
Austin Holds Strong Demand
Austin ranked second nationwide, with 30,943 units delivered across 110 projects in 2025. The market continues to attract development, with 25,931 apartments under construction at the start of 2026. For owners and managers, this level of activity makes property upkeep a key part of staying competitive. Updated common areas, reliable building systems and planned capital improvements can help communities protect long-term value in a crowded market.
Houston Adjusts After a Delivery Pullback
Houston ranked seventh, with 16,339 units delivered across 68 properties in 2025. While this marked a drop from the year before, the metro still had 27,183 units under construction at the start of 2026. That combination of reduced new starts and active pipeline work creates a market where existing communities can gain ground through smart maintenance, targeted renovations and consistent property care.
San Antonio Remains Part of the Texas Multifamily Conversation
While San Antonio was not listed among the top 10 markets for multifamily deliveries in the article, it remains an important Texas market for owners and managers to watch. As nearby metros like Austin, Dallas and Houston continue to see new supply, property teams across Texas can benefit from staying proactive with repairs, renovations and long-term maintenance planning. For San Antonio communities, the focus remains the same: protect property value, support residents and keep assets ready for changing market conditions.
What This Means for Multifamily Properties
New deliveries bring new competition, but they also highlight the strength of Texas multifamily markets. Residents have more choices, which means property appearance, building performance and amenity quality carry more weight. Communities that plan ahead can address repairs before they grow, modernize high-impact spaces and support the resident experience without waiting for major issues to surface.
