Declare in your Model with

  [DataType(DataType.MultilineText)]
  public string urString { get; set; }

Then in .cshtml can make use of editor as below. you can make use of @cols and @rows for TextArea size

     @Html.EditorFor(model => model.urString, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "",@cols = 35, @rows = 3 } })

Thanks !
