SERVICES BUILT FOR THIS SPECIFIC MARKET
Full-service property management for Roanoke landlords
McCaw Property Management has managed single-family rentals across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex for more than a decade. Our office sits at 1670 Keller Parkway in Keller — roughly nine miles south of downtown Roanoke and a 15-minute drive to any home in the 76262 ZIP. That matters.
Generic property management playbooks built for the broader DFW market leave Roanoke owners exposed; the market is small enough that one bad month of pricing — or one missed weekend of open-house traffic — can move a property from the 36-day-to-lease cohort into the 90-plus-day tail. Our Roanoke service model is built around three things that matter in 76262: speed-to-list, defensible pricing, and tenant qualification for a market where employers range from Alliance-corridor distribution to executive aviation.
Leasing & Marketing
- MLS pricing benchmarked weekly against closed Roanoke comps, not Tarrant County aggregates
- Professional photography and 3D walkthroughs — the standard set by Litsey Creek Cottages and other institutional product nearby
- Syndication across 30+ rental platforms including Zillow, Apartments.com, Realtor.com, HotPads, and the NTREIS MLS rental feed
- Tenant screening calibrated for the Alliance corridor: credit, criminal, eviction, employment verification, and rental history — including out-of-state relocations common to aviation and logistics roles
Rent Collection & Accounting
- Online ACH rent collection with automated late-fee enforcement consistent with Texas Property Code
- Owner portal with monthly statements, 1099 prep, and on-demand year-end accounting
- Reserves managed transparently — no surprise draws on owner accounts
Maintenance & Inspections
- 24/7 emergency response through a vetted Roanoke / Keller / Fort Worth vendor network
- Move-in, mid-lease, and move-out inspections with timestamped photo documentation
- Preventive maintenance scheduling for HVAC, irrigation, and roofing — the three highest-cost surprise items in DFW single-family rentals
Legal & Compliance
- Texas Real Estate Commission–compliant leases updated for current Property Code
- Eviction handling through Denton County JP courts when required
- Security deposit accounting consistent with Chapter 92 of the Texas Property Code
WHAT MCCAW ACTUALLY CHARGES
McCaw Property Management fees in Roanoke, TX
Most Roanoke property managers charge 8% to 10% of collected rent — a structure that quietly punishes you every time the rental market goes up. McCaw is built differently. Our Full-Service Management plan is a $175 flat monthly fee. At the local Roanoke median rent of $2,750, that works out to an effective rate of just 6.4% — and the savings widen as your rent grows. On a $3,300 four-bedroom lease, the same $175 fee is only 5.3%. The math gets better with every annual rent increase.
The Flat-Fee Math
On a $2,750 median Roanoke rental, our $175/month fee is 6.4%. A competitor at 10% charges $275 — a $1,200 annual difference.
Over a five-year hold with typical 3-4% annual rent growth, the gap between McCaw’s flat fee and a 10% percentage fee compounds into $6,000-plus in additional owner cash flow per property. Multiply that across a small portfolio and the choice of management structure becomes one of the largest line items in your investment return.

WHAT THE LAST 90 DAYS ACTUALLY SHOW
Roanoke rental market trends — read from the MLS, not the headlines
Rental Leasing Activity (closed in last 90 days):
The 18 closed rental transactions in Roanoke 76262 over the past 90 days describe a market that is balanced, not frothy. The median asking price was reduced by exactly $0 to reach a closed median of $2,750 — but that single statistic hides a real divergence underneath: 56% of homes leased at or above asking, while 44% required a price cut averaging $188 (about 6%) before securing a tenant. In a market this size, that split tells you the difference between a $2,825/mo property and a $2,650/mo property is almost entirely marketing and pricing discipline in the first 30 days.
| Bedrooms | Closed (n) | Median rent | Median sq ft | Median DOM | Rent / sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 BR | 2 | $1,962 | 962 | 53.5 | ~$2.04 |
| 3 BR | 9 | $2,450 | 1,862 | 36 | ~$1.32 |
| 4 BR | 7 | $3,300 | 2,250 | 56 | ~$1.47 |

Sales Market Context for Investors Underwriting Roanoke:
33 single-family homes closed in Roanoke 76262 over the past 90 days at a median price of $580,000 ($230/sq ft) and a median 36 days on market. Only 12% of homes sold at or above asking, and the median seller gave back $25,000 (about 3%) from the original list price — a clear signal that the for-sale market is on the buyer’s side of balanced, even as rental demand remains absorptive. For an investor, this is the better of two timing windows: sellers are negotiable, but tenants are still committing within six weeks.
| Bedrooms | Closed (n) | Median price | Median sq ft | Median DOM |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 BR | 11 | $400,000 | 1,455 | 35 |
| 4 BR | 20 | $635,111 | 3,045 | 37 |
| 5 BR | 1 | $645,000 | 2,850 | 72 |

Calculated Gross Yield by Segment:
Pairing the trailing-90-day median rent against the trailing-90-day median sale price by bedroom count produces the cleanest available yield picture for the current Roanoke market:
| Segment | Median rent | Annualized | Median sale | Gross yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 BR | $1,962 | $23,544 | $450,000 | 5.23% |
| 3 BR | $2,450 | $29,400 | $400,000 | 7.35% |
| 4 BR | $3,300 | $39,600 | $635,111 | 6.24% |
Gross yield = (median monthly rent × 12) ÷ median sale price. Excludes vacancy, taxes, insurance, capex, and management. Indicative only.
Investor Takeaway
3-bedroom homes are the yield winner. 4-bedroom homes are the wealth-builder.
The 7.35% gross yield on a 3-bedroom Roanoke home is meaningfully above what the same buyer would underwrite in Westlake or Southlake. The 4-bedroom segment trades yield for stability — larger homes pull executive-relocation tenants tied to Alliance Airport and corporate Westlake employers, who renew at higher rates and absorb 4-figure rent increases without negotiating.

THE MARKET IN ONE PARAGRAPH
Why Roanoke earns its place in a serious DFW rental portfolio
Roanoke is one of the few DFW submarkets where small-city character, institutional capital, and a national logistics engine collide inside a single ZIP code. The city sits roughly five miles from Fort Worth Alliance Airport and the Alliance Global Logistics Hub — a 26,000-acre master-planned region anchoring nearly 500 companies across distribution, aviation, manufacturing, and e-commerce. State Highway 114, Interstate 35W, and SH-170 push that workforce directly into Roanoke neighborhoods on the commute home. The result, visible plainly in the MLS data, is a rental market where the median single-family lease closed at $2,750/month with a 44-day median time-to-lease — fast enough for cash flow modeling, slow enough to demand professional marketing and screening.
What separates Roanoke from neighboring Trophy Club, Keller, or Westlake is not amenity inventory — it is the unusual alignment between three tenant pipelines feeding the same housing stock: workforce households commuting into Alliance distribution centers, executive relocations tied to aviation and corporate aviation tenants at Alliance Airport, and renter-by-choice professionals from the Southlake-Westlake employment cluster who want a single-family home without buying at a $580,000 median sale price. A property management strategy that treats all three the same will underperform. A strategy built around them — one that knows when to lean executive-furnished, when to lean workforce-quick-turn, and when to push for above-asking — is how you compete with institutional build-to-rent product like Litsey Creek Cottages, the 396-home AEW-backed community sitting within one mile of the Alliance hub.
Local Observation
The 3-bedroom segment is the most efficient rental in Roanoke right now.
Across 9 closed leases in the past 90 days, 3-bedroom homes leased at a $2,450 median in just 36 days — the shortest time-on-market of any bedroom segment. Paired against the $400,000 median sale price for 3-bedroom homes, that produces a ~7.4% gross yield, the highest in the local data. 4-bedroom homes earn more rent ($3,300 median) but take 56 days to lease and sit on roughly twice the capital base.

Roanoke micro-markets landlords should know
Downtown Roanoke & Oak Street corridor
The original Roanoke street grid feeding into Oak Street — the dining strip the city markets as the “Unique Dining Capital of Texas” — is where you find the bulk of pre-2000 housing stock. Smaller footprints (often under 1,500 sq ft), higher price-per-foot, and tenants who explicitly want walkability to the restaurant cluster. Lease velocity here tends to outperform the citywide median when staged correctly.
Litsey Creek & the Alliance-adjacent corridor
Roanoke’s southern edge sits within roughly one mile of the Alliance Global Logistics Hub. This is the corridor where AEW-funded Litsey Creek Cottages — a 396-unit single-family build-to-rent community — has set the bar for new rental product. Independent landlords in this corridor compete directly with that pricing and amenity standard, which is why disciplined marketing photography and pricing discipline matter most here.
Master-planned subdivisions (2000s–2010s vintage)
The bulk of Roanoke’s modern single-family rental stock — represented by 17 of the 33 closed sales in the past 90 days falling in the 2010–2019 build cohort — sits in planned subdivisions developed during the city’s tripling-in-population growth phase. 4-bedroom, ~3,000 sq ft homes here represent the majority of executive-tenant demand: $635,000 median sale price, $3,300 median rent.
School zone overlay (Northwest ISD)
Most Roanoke homes feed Northwest ISD campuses including J. Lyndal Hughes Elementary, John M. Tidwell Middle School, and Lakeview, Roanoke, and Wayne A. Cox elementary schools. School-zone-driven demand concentrates rental applications in the spring and early summer leasing window, with measurable absorption pickup typically between March and July — a pattern landlords should account for when timing lease expirations.
COMMON QUESTIONS FROM ROANOKE OWNERS AND INVESTORS
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average rent for a single-family home in Roanoke, TX?
Across the 18 single-family homes that closed for lease in Roanoke 76262 over the past 90 days, the median rent was $2,750/month and the mean was $2,774. By bedroom count, the medians break down to roughly $1,962 for 2-bedroom, $2,450 for 3-bedroom, and $3,300 for 4-bedroom homes.
How long does it take to lease a rental home in Roanoke, TX?
The median time-to-lease across closed transactions was 44 days, but the distribution is highly bedroom-dependent. 3-bedroom homes leased fastest at a 36-day median; 4-bedroom homes took 56 days; 2-bedroom homes took 53.5 days. Roughly 44% of homes that closed required at least one price reduction before securing a tenant.
Is Roanoke, TX a good market for single-family rentals?
By the numbers, yes — with one caveat. Gross yield in the 3-bedroom segment runs near 7.4% based on median rent versus median sale price, which is above what comparable Southlake or Westlake homes generate. The caveat is competition from institutional build-to-rent product such as the 396-home Litsey Creek Cottages community near the Alliance hub, which raises the marketing bar for individual landlords.
What types of rental properties are most common in Roanoke?
Detached single-family homes in planned subdivisions dominate Roanoke’s rental stock. The MLS data shows three-quarters of recent rental closings were 3- or 4-bedroom homes with attached two- or three-car garages. Smaller condo and townhome inventory exists but is relatively thin; the vast majority of investor opportunity is in single-family product.
Are build-to-rent communities impacting the Roanoke rental market?
Yes, particularly at the upper end. Litsey Creek Cottages — a 396-unit, AEW-funded single-family build-to-rent community on 65 acres within one mile of the Alliance Global Logistics Hub — has raised the standard for amenities, finishes, and professional management in the corridor. Independent landlords operating in the same submarket must match the marketing and tenant-experience standard or compete on price.
What are typical property management fees in Roanoke, TX?
Most Roanoke property managers charge a percentage-based fee — typically 8% to 10% of collected monthly rent. McCaw Property Management takes a different approach with a $175 flat monthly fee on our Full-Service plan, which works out to roughly 6.4% at the local median rent of $2,750 (if you want to see how much you’d save in fees with our flat fee, use our fee savings calculator). Tenant placement is 75% of one month’s rent under Full-Service (100% under Lease-Only), lease renewal is $150, and there is no management fee charged during vacancy.
How does Roanoke’s population growth affect rental demand?
Roanoke has more than tripled in population since 2000 and added more than 1,000 residents between 2020 and 2023 alone — a roughly 10% three-year growth rate against approximately 1% nationally. Texas Demographic Center projections continue to show Denton County growth ahead of state averages, which provides multi-year tailwind for absorption.
Which parts of Roanoke have the strongest rental activity?
Closed-rental activity in the past 90 days clusters in two areas: master-planned subdivisions built between 2000 and 2019 (where 3- and 4-bedroom homes lease most quickly), and the Alliance-adjacent corridor near Litsey Creek where workforce and logistics tenants concentrate. Smaller-footprint homes near downtown Oak Street command a price-per-foot premium tied to walkability to the restaurant cluster.
What are average single-family home prices in Roanoke?
33 single-family homes closed in Roanoke 76262 over the past 90 days at a median price of $580,000 ($230/sq ft) on 2,689 median square feet. By bedroom, the medians are roughly $400,000 for 3-bedroom and $635,000 for 4-bedroom homes. Currently active listings carry a median asking price of $725,000, reflecting a higher-end skew in available inventory.
How close is Roanoke to major employment centers and DFW Airport?
Roanoke sits roughly 23 miles north of downtown Fort Worth, 30 miles west of downtown Dallas, and approximately 5 miles from both Fort Worth Alliance Airport and Dallas–Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). State Highway 114, Interstate 35W, and SH-170 feed the city directly into the AllianceTexas employment region — a 26,000-acre logistics and corporate corridor with nearly 500 companies.
What lease terms are most common in Roanoke?
Standard 12-month leases dominate the closed-transaction data, though some active listings are testing 6-month and furnished short-term postures targeting executive relocation tenants — for example, one current Thornhill Way listing at $6,000/month furnished. Multi-year leases are uncommon but available for executive-tier homes.
How do Roanoke school zones affect rental demand?
Most Roanoke homes feed Northwest ISD, with parts of the area in Keller ISD. School-zone demand creates a measurable spring/summer leasing peak between March and July, which is the optimal window to time lease expirations for re-marketing.
What are typical vacancy rates in Roanoke?
MLS data measures time-to-lease, not vacancy in the traditional sense, but the 44-day median lease-up time on closed rentals — combined with the small active-listing count (8 homes) — suggests effective vacancy on professionally managed Roanoke single-family rentals runs in the low single digits for owners willing to price to the closed comp set rather than to aspirational asking prices.
How do property taxes affect rental property returns in Roanoke?
Texas does not levy a state income tax but funds local services primarily through property taxes, which in Denton County typically range from approximately 2.0% to 2.5% of assessed value depending on jurisdiction overlays. On the local $580,000 median sale price, that translates to roughly $11,600–$14,500 annually — a meaningful line item that should be modeled before estimating net yield. Investors should consult a tax professional for property-specific guidance.
Are there new residential developments planned near Roanoke?
Yes. The AllianceTexas master plan continues to deliver new industrial, office, and residential product, including expansion along Independence Parkway and ongoing development of corporate aviation, medical office, and logistics facilities. Litsey Creek Cottages represents the most visible recent single-family residential addition; further infill and master-planned development is expected as Denton County continues to grow.
What insurance considerations apply to rental properties in Roanoke?
Texas rental property owners typically carry a DP-3 (dwelling fire) policy or landlord-specific policy with liability coverage, loss-of-rents coverage, and replacement-cost dwelling coverage. North Texas owners should also confirm wind/hail coverage given the region’s exposure to severe-weather events. We do not sell insurance; we work with owners’ chosen carriers and recommend independent local brokers familiar with the Denton County market.
How does seasonality affect leasing in Roanoke?
DFW single-family rental leasing peaks between March and July, driven primarily by school-zone-conscious tenant moves. Listings entering the market in late autumn or early winter typically experience longer days-on-market and a higher rate of price reductions; we plan lease expirations accordingly for owners on the platform.
