As urban and suburban areas continue to grow, one of the most overlooked land investment strategies is the infill lot — those small, often irregular parcels nestled between existing developments. They might look like scraps at first glance, but these lots are fast becoming real estate gold.
Location, Location… You Know the Rest
Infill lots are often minutes from shopping, schools, and transportation. That makes them ideal for first-time homebuyers, developers, and even short-term rental operators. In real estate, location trumps all — and these lots are prime real estate without the price tag.
Utility Access? Already There
Unlike rural land that may need extensive (and expensive) utility installation, infill lots often already have electric, water, and sewer lines nearby or on-site. That reduces development time and cost significantly.
Zoning Favors Development
Cities and counties want these lots developed. That means buyers may benefit from reduced fees, fast-track permitting, or tax incentives as part of urban infill initiatives.
The ROI Factor
Because these lots are already in developed areas, homes built on them tend to appraise well, sell faster, and command higher rents. It’s one of the highest ROI land niches available today.
Don’t Overlook the Underdog
Infill lots may not have the drama of mountain views or lakeside charm, but they have something even more valuable: built-in demand. As cities expand, these small patches of land will only grow more valuable.
