in Tennessee for $21 million

IRVINE, Calif., May 16, 2014 – Steadfast Income REIT, Inc. announced today that it acquired Richland Falls,  a 190-unit apartment community in Murfreesboro, Tenn., for $21 million. This brings the REIT’s total portfolio to 66 communities in 11 Midwestern and Southern states.

"Steadfast Income REIT’s acquisition focus has been to focus on properties in flourishing markets,” said Ella Shaw Neyland, president of Steadfast Income REIT. "Murfreesboro and the Nashville area are high on national rankings for economic strength, attractiveness to business, population growth and job growth.”

Richland Falls is a newly constructed, Class A complex situated on approximately 18 acres. The first phase is comprised of 190 apartment homes in nine, multi-story buildings with spacious one-, two-, and three-bedroom configurations. The units average 1,026 square feet and average in-place rents are $892.An additional 86 apartment homes could be built as an additional phase on entitled land that was acquired as part of the purchase.

Residents began moving in to the apartment homes in the fourth quarter of 2013 and benefit from a wide variety of on-site amenities, including an outdoorswimming pool, fitness center, business center, billiards lounge, laundry center, and dog park.

Richland Falls represents the REIT’s fourth Nashville-area property. The REIT also owns Indian Lake Village, Keystone Farms and Audubon Park.
