If you are ever looking to invest in the great city of St. 

Do you have a personal connection to either of those cities/markets?

I checked the city's website and the plots fall into their "Low Density Neighborhood" district.

You can also use online resources such as City Data to search demographics in the area. 

My suggestion is to find some real estate industry surveys (via CBRE or others) and look for the MF cap rates in various cities/states/regions.

Are you looking to stay in the city? 

Whether it’s developing new housing complexes or refurbishing existing ones for higher-end rentals, the opportunities for capitalizing on this growth are vast.The decision by Anduril Industries to set up shop in Columbus is a game-changer, signaling a major shift in the city's economic landscape that savvy investors should not overlook.

I'm analyzing a mountain/lake town about 4-6 hours out from 3-4 fast growing cities.

I would ensure that she receives the necessary notices as required by your city.

Quote from @Breland Clark: I would like to know more about developing land and subdivisions for new builds and apartment buildings. talk to the land development arms in your city or state.
