The composite score in the full table: quality plus management and quality from verified reviews only. Useful context, but it doesn’t affect the order. Rankings are independent: there’s no way to pay for placement.

This list is ranked by one number: each property's quality score from verified reviews. Students rate a property's quality 1 to 5, and we average those scores, counting recent reviews more heavily than older ones. No self-reported data from landlords.
In reviews, the highest quality scores come from well-kept units, a building that’s clearly maintained, and amenities that actually work as promised.
Monthly. We re-pull verified reviews and re-score every property at the start of each month, so the order reflects the most recent 24 months of student feedback. The “updated” date at the top of the page shows the latest refresh.
There's a minimum number of verified reviews to rank by score, and we don't publish the exact bar so it can't be gamed. Properties under it still appear, below every qualified property and ordered by review count, so a 5.0 from one review never outranks a 4.5 from thirty. Once a property collects enough reviews, it moves into the scored ranking automatically.
It's fully independent. There's no pay-to-rank. Position is set by verified reviews alone. Property managers can't buy placement, remove reviews, or influence the score.
If your property is on this ranking, you've earned an FMP Award. Reach out and we'll set you up with the official badge for your website, social, and print, free. It's how renters know your ranking is real.
