Source: NTREIS MLS closed lease records for Trophy Club, TX (ZIP 76262), six months ending July 28, 2026 — 39 closed leases, of which 34 were unfurnished. Active, pending, and cancelled listings excluded. Updated quarterly.
If you have typed this question into Google, you have probably already been given three different answers by three different websites. That is not your imagination, and it is not your fault. Trophy Club is genuinely hard to price — the town is small, fewer than a dozen homes are listed for lease at any moment, and its ZIP code is shared with part of Roanoke, so most published “Trophy Club rent” figures are blended two-city estimates.
McCaw Property Management created this guide to do something narrower and more useful: it walks through the actual closed-lease record, one variable at a time, so you can place your own home in the range.
The Short Answer
Over the six months ending July 28, 2026, 39 homes closed for lease in Trophy Club. Five were marketed fully furnished, which distorts the top of the range, so the figures below use the 34 unfurnished closed leases — the right benchmark if you are pricing a conventional 12-month lease.
| Closed-market metric | Trophy Club (unfurnished) |
|---|---|
| Median closed rent | $3,500 / month |
| Median time to lease | 21 days |
| Median rent per sq. ft. | $1.38 / sq. ft. |
| Typical range | $2,500 – $5,000 / month |
The one-sentence version
Most unfurnished Trophy Club homes lease between $2,500 and $5,000 a month, with the median near $3,500 — but bedroom count, square footage, and the decade the home was built move that number by more than a thousand dollars in either direction.
Work through the next three steps in order and you will land within a few hundred dollars of a defensible asking rent.
Step 1 — Start With Bedroom Count
Bedroom count is the coarsest filter, but it is where every renter starts their search, so it is where you should start too. The “typical range” column is the middle 50% of transactions — it shows how much room exists inside each tier.
| Bedrooms | Closed leases | Typical range | Median rent | Median size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 bedrooms | 14 | $2,581–$3,538 | $2,948 | 2,080 sf |
| 4 bedrooms | 15 | $3,200–$4,400 | $3,800 | 2,805 sf |
| 5 bedrooms | 5 | $3,950–$5,850 | $4,650 | 3,690 sf |
| All unfurnished | 34 | — | $3,500 | 2,528 sf |
Notice how wide those ranges are. A four-bedroom Trophy Club home leased anywhere from $3,200 to $4,400 in the ordinary case — a $1,200 spread on the same bedroom count. Bedroom count alone is never an answer. It is a starting bracket.
Step 2 — Refine by Square Footage
Square footage explains most of the spread inside each bedroom tier. Find your home’s size band below.
| Home size | Closed leases | Typical range | Median rent | Rent / sq. ft. | Days to lease |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under 2,000 sf | 6 | $2,300–$2,713 | $2,538 | $1.49 | 16 |
| 2,000–2,499 sf | 7 | $2,895–$3,450 | $3,000 | $1.41 | 16 |
| 2,500–2,999 sf | 16 | $3,425–$4,149 | $3,800 | $1.31 | 33 |
| 3,000 sf and up | 5 | $4,400–$5,850 | $5,000 | $1.36 | 4 |
Don’t price off someone else’s per-foot number
Rent per square foot is not constant across Trophy Club. Homes under 2,000 square feet leased at $1.49 per foot; homes in the 2,500–2,999 band leased at $1.31. Take a per-foot figure from a large Highlands house, apply it to a smaller home in the original village sections, and you will underprice by several hundred dollars a month. The reverse mistake is more common — and more expensive.
The 2,500–2,999 square-foot band deserves a note. It is the deepest part of the market — 16 of the 34 unfurnished leases — and it also posted the slowest median lease-up at 33 days. More inventory means more direct competition, which means less tolerance for an aggressive ask. If your home sits in this band, pricing discipline matters more than anywhere else in town.
Step 3 — Adjust for Age, Layout, and Features
Two homes of the same size and bedroom count can still lease several hundred dollars apart. These are the adjustments the closed record supports.
Decade built
| Built | Closed leases | Median rent | Median size | Rent / sq. ft. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1980s | 10 | $2,848 | 2,075 sf | $1.37 |
| 1990s | 8 | $3,200 | 2,540 sf | $1.36 |
| 2000s | 4 | $3,800 | 2,674 sf | $1.50 |
| 2010s | 10 | $3,895 | 2,864 sf | $1.36 |
Most of that progression is size, not age — newer Trophy Club homes are simply bigger. Once you control for square footage, rent per foot is remarkably flat across the decades, between $1.36 and $1.50. The practical takeaway for an owner of a 1980s home in the original village sections: your home’s age is not costing you rent per square foot. Condition is a different matter — and it is the one thing on this list you can actually change before you list.
One Story vs. Two
Single-story Trophy Club homes leased at a $2,900 median against $3,990 for two-story homes — but the single-story homes averaged 2,042 square feet versus 2,806. Per foot, single-story homes actually leased slightly higher ($1.42 vs. $1.35). Do not discount a well-kept single-story home; it competes on a smaller absolute number in a market where most inventory is two-story.
Pools, furnishings, and condition:
- Pool: the five closed leases on homes with pools carried a $4,695 median against $3,500 without — but pool homes here also skew larger, so treat this as a directional signal rather than a clean premium you can add.
- Fully furnished: the five furnished closed leases came in at a $6,000 median. Furnishing is a different product with a different tenant pool, shorter average terms, and materially more owner involvement. It is not a shortcut to a higher number.
- Condition and finish: not coded in the MLS, but the largest unmeasured variable in the dataset. Dated flooring, worn paint, and tired fixtures show up as extra days on market rather than as a lower asking rent.
The Number That Actually Decides Your Rent
Here is the finding that matters more than any table above. Of the 39 closed Trophy Club leases, 27 leased at or above their original asking rent and 12 had to cut. Compare how long each group sat:
| Outcome | Closed leases | Median days on market | Median reduction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leased at or above ask | 27 | 16 days | — |
| Had to reduce | 12 | 64 days | $265 / month |
Overpricing costs you twice
Homes that got their full asking rent leased in a median of 16 days. Homes that had to reduce leased in a median of 64 days — and still gave up a median of $265 a month. Seven extra weeks of vacancy on a $3,500 home is about $5,650 in rent you will never recover, before the reduction you end up taking regardless. There is no version of the math where an aggressive ask pays for itself in this market.
The distribution underneath those medians is telling. Thirty-one percent of Trophy Club homes leased within a week, and another 8% in the second week — but 26% took more than sixty days. There is very little middle ground. A correctly priced, rent-ready home tends to move almost immediately, and a mispriced one sits, because with fewer than a dozen competing listings there is no steady stream of traffic to correct the error for you.
Do Not Price Against the Active Listings
This is the most common mistake we see. Owners look at what is currently listed on the portals and price to match. But active listings are, by definition, the homes that have not leased yet.
| Segment | Active asking (median) | Closed rent (median) | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 bedrooms | $2,898 | $3,000 | −3% |
| 4 bedrooms | $3,975 | $3,850 | +3% |
| 5 bedrooms | $5,400 | $4,525 | +19% |
Two things stand out. First, the ask-to-close gap in Trophy Club is concentrated at the top of the market — standing five-bedroom inventory is asking nearly 20% more than five-bedroom homes have actually been closing at. Second, and more revealing: the nine homes currently listed for lease have already been on the market a median of 34 days, against the 21-day median for homes that actually leased. The inventory you would be pricing against is, on average, the inventory that got its price wrong.
Timing Moves the Number Too
Trophy Club leasing is strongly seasonal, and the effect is larger than most owners expect. Leases closing in February carried a 62-day median time on market. Leases closing in May, June, and July carried medians of 8, 11, and 8 days. If you have any control over when your lease expires — and at renewal, you usually do — steering the expiration into the April-through-July window is one of the cheapest returns available to a Trophy Club owner. It costs nothing but a conversation and a slightly non-standard lease term, and it can be worth several weeks of avoided vacancy.
What This Data Cannot Tell You
An honest guide should say where it stops. Three variables move Trophy Club rents meaningfully and none of them appear in the tables above:
- Which section your home is in. The Highlands, the original village sections around the country club, and the 2000s-era sections are effectively three submarkets with different competing inventory. A townwide median blends all three.
- Condition, finish level, and photography. Not coded in the MLS, and collectively the biggest unmeasured driver of both achieved rent and days on market.
- Your HOA’s leasing rules. Not standardized townwide. Some sections impose minimum lease terms, notification requirements, or caps on the share of leased homes. That does not change your rent directly, but it can change whether and when you can lease at all — check your recorded declaration before you list, not after.
Worth noting separately: your net return depends on more than rent. Trophy Club homes carry a combined 2025 ad valorem rate of roughly $1.7610 per $100, a Trophy Club MUD No. 1 levy, and — inside The Highlands PID boundary — a fixed annual assessment that does not fall when values do. Rent is the top line, not the answer.

What is the average rent for a house in Trophy Club, TX?
Across 34 unfurnished closed leases in the six months ending July 2026, the median rent was $3,500 per month at about $1.38 per square foot. Including five furnished listings, the median across all 39 closed leases rises to $3,800. By bedroom count, unfurnished medians were roughly $2,948 for three-bedroom homes, $3,800 for four-bedroom homes, and $4,650 for five-bedroom homes.
How do I estimate rent for my own Trophy Club home?
Start with your bedroom count to set a bracket, then narrow using your square-footage band, then adjust for condition and features. A 2,600-square-foot four-bedroom, for example, sits in the 2,500–2,999 band that leased at a $3,800 median with a typical range of $3,425 to $4,149. Then check what is currently listed in your specific section, and price to the closed comps rather than to the active asking prices.
How long does it take to rent a house in Trophy Club?
The median closed lease took 21 days, but the average was 37. About 31% of homes leased within a week and 26% took more than sixty days. The split tracks pricing almost exactly: homes that got their full asking rent leased in a median of 16 days, while homes that had to reduce took a median of 64 days.
Why is my Zillow rent estimate different from these numbers?
Three reasons. Trophy Club shares ZIP code 76262 with part of Roanoke, so ZIP-level estimates blend two communities. Census figures report median gross rent across all existing tenancies including long-tenured leases ($1,821 in the 2019–2023 five-year estimate), which is a very different measure from what a home would lease for today. And with fewer than a dozen active listings at any time, a couple of outlier listings can move a modeled estimate substantially. Closed MLS transactions are the only reliable benchmark.
Should I price above market and negotiate down?
The Trophy Club data argues strongly against it. Homes that had to cut their asking rent sat a median of 64 days versus 16 days for homes that got full ask, and they still gave up a median of $265 a month. Seven extra weeks of vacancy on a $3,500 home is roughly $5,650 in unrecoverable rent — on top of the reduction you end up taking anyway.
Does a pool increase rent in Trophy Club?
Homes with pools leased at a $4,695 median versus $3,500 without, but pool homes in the sample also skew larger, so the gap reflects size as much as the pool itself. Treat a pool as a directional positive that may shorten time on market at the upper end, not as a fixed premium you can add to your asking rent.
When is the best time to list a rental in Trophy Club?
Late spring through midsummer. Leases closing in February carried a 62-day median time on market, while those closing in May, June, and July carried medians of 8, 11, and 8 days. If you control the renewal calendar, timing your lease expiration into the April–July window is one of the cheapest ways to reduce vacancy.
Do older Trophy Club homes rent for less?
Less in absolute terms, but not per square foot. Homes built in the 1980s leased at a $2,848 median against $3,895 for 2010s homes — but the newer homes were also substantially larger. Rent per square foot was nearly flat across decades, between $1.36 and $1.50. Age is not costing you rent per foot in Trophy Club; condition is the variable that matters, and it is the one you can change.
Do I need to register my Trophy Club rental with the Town?
If you are a nonresident owner, yes. Article 3.11 of the Town’s Code of Ordinances requires a nonresident owner to obtain a rental license before leasing a single-family home, renewed every 12 months. Confirm current requirements with Town of Trophy Club Community Development before you list.
