Apartment REITs Part 2: Camden Property Leads The Pack

Camden Property Trust offers the best mix of value and growth among apartment REITs, with a focus on long-term Sun Belt market demand. CPT's disciplined capital allocation—low leverage, accretive share buybacks, and strategic asset sales—positions it to outperform peers despite near-term headwinds. Despite exposure to oversupplied markets, CPT achieved record FFO/share through high occupancy, expense control, and renewal rent increases.
