To be considered green, a rental community needs to offer sustainable amenities such as energy efficiency certification (LEED), solar panels, EV charging stations, and smart thermostats. In 2021, nearly 28 percent of rental complexes in San Antonio were advertised as sustainable, making the city the greenest city for renters in the United States.

The source adds the following information: "To find the greenest cities for renters, we looked at the number of communities that advertise green amenities (things like LEED certification, solar panels, EV charging stations, smart thermostats, etc.) and then divided that number by the total count of properties in any given city.
We excluded cities with fewer than 25 available properties at the time of this study."
