Use TextAreaFor   Html TextAreaFor model   gt  model Description  new    class    whatever-class    cols   80   rows   10      or use style for multi-line class   You could also write EditorTemplate for this

One option seems to be using CSS to style the textarea   multi-line   height 5em  width 5em      See this entry on SO or this one   Amurra s accepted answer seems to imply this class is added automatically when using EditorFor but you d have to verify this   EDIT  Confirmed  it does  So yes  if you want to use EditorFor  using this CSS style does what you re looking for    lt textarea class  text-box multi-line  id  StoreSearchCriteria Location  name  StoreSearchCriteria Location  gt

In ASP NET MVC 5 you could use the  DataType DataType MultilineText   attribute  It will render a TextArea tag   public class MyModel        DataType DataType MultilineText       public string MyField   get  set        Then in the view if you need to specify the rows you can do it like this    Html EditorFor model   gt  model MyField  new   htmlAttributes   new   rows   10        Or just use the TextAreaFor with the right overload    Html TextAreaFor model   gt  model MyField  10  20  null
