...hear and touch things outside their classroom. But the field-trip destination is not the usual venue, like a museum or zoo. It's a Petco store. Tour guide Jennifer Rohan, manager of the Ramsey, N.J., pet-supply emporium, lets the kids pet a quivering chinchilla ($129.99, food and shelter sold separately), squawk at a taciturn macaw named Oscar ($2,399.99) and find Nemo the clown fish ($14.99). An hour later, the children are back on the bus clutching handout Petco-logo Frisbees and debating the merits of dogs vs. hermit crabs...

REIS estimates that the apartment vacancy rate will top out at 7.2% this year and then ease over the next four years to 6.1%. That shift, along with higher rents anticipated next year, is expected to boost landlord cash flows as much as 7% and lead to healthy dividend growth, offering a compelling reason to own the stocks of apartment REITs such as Avalon Bay, BRE Properties, United Dominion Realty...
