Top Property Managers Georgetown
Bay Property Management Group Austin serves property owners and residents throughout Georgetown, a historic Hill Country town about 30 miles north of Austin that has become one of the fastest-growing cities in Texas.
Founded in 1848 and named for early land donor George Washington Glasscock, Georgetown built its identity around a Victorian-era downtown square that’s still the heart of the city today. The Williamson County Courthouse, built in 1911, anchors a historic district with roughly 46 preserved structures on the National Register of Historic Places, and locals have long called it the most beautiful town square in Texas. That small-town character now coexists with rapid growth, driven in large part by Sun City Texas, one of the region’s largest active-adult communities.
If you want the wider Austin service area first, our Austin property management page covers our full team, fee structure, and every submarket we work in.
Georgetown has held onto its identity even as its population has climbed, largely because growth has spread outward into new subdivisions rather than erasing the historic core. Between the downtown square, Southwestern University, and steady new employer investment, the city continues to draw renters looking for a slower pace within commuting distance of Austin.

Average Rent in Georgetown
The blended average across Georgetown rentals runs about $1,560 a month, down roughly 2.76% year over year, according to RentCafe (data compiled from Yardi Matrix and the U.S. Census Bureau, last updated July 2, 2026). That’s below the citywide Austin average, which continues to draw renters looking for more space and a lower cost of living without giving up easy access to the metro. For landlords, it means Georgetown remains competitively priced even as the broader region has seen rents soften over the past year.
Renters Versus Owner-Occupied Housing
About 10,814 Georgetown households rent, while roughly 24,586 own, per the same RentCafe and U.S. Census Bureau data. That’s a strongly homeownership-oriented market, reflecting Georgetown’s identity as a family and retiree-friendly community built around single-family neighborhoods rather than large apartment complexes. For property owners, that smaller renter pool tends to include longer-term tenants looking for a house or townhome rather than a short-term apartment lease.
Why Consider Georgetown?
Georgetown offers small-town character with a walkable historic core, something that’s becoming harder to find in the fast-growing Austin metro. Renters here can browse the shops and restaurants around the historic square, then head home to a quiet residential neighborhood a few minutes away.
Housing in Georgetown ranges from historic homes near downtown to newer construction in master-planned communities like Wolf Ranch and Sun City, along with a smaller supply of apartment communities scattered throughout the city. That mix gives renters more options at different price points than they’d typically find closer to central Austin.
Whether renters are drawn to Georgetown’s historic square, Southwestern University, or simply a quieter pace of life with easy highway access to Austin, the city continues to be one of the more distinctive rental markets in the region.
Employment Opportunities in Georgetown
Georgetown has grown well beyond a bedroom community, with a job base that spans healthcare, education, and a growing base of tech and manufacturing employers.
- Healthcare – Georgetown’s largest employment sector, driven in part by the assisted living and home health industry tied to Sun City, with St. David’s Georgetown Hospital serving as one of the area’s major medical employers.
- Southwestern University – Texas’s oldest university, founded in 1840, remains one of Georgetown’s longtime primary employers and a defining institution in the community.
- Downtown Austin and the broader metro – Easy access via I-35 and State Highway 130 keeps a commute south into Austin’s job centers manageable for residents who prefer Georgetown’s pace of life. Our Downtown Austin property management page covers that submarket in more detail.
- Growing tech and manufacturing employers – Companies like Chatsworth Products and ZT Systems have expanded Georgetown’s employment base beyond healthcare and education in recent years, aided in part by the Georgetown Executive Airport.
- Georgetown Independent School District – As one of the area’s fast-growing districts, Georgetown ISD is a major local employer with campuses throughout the city.
- City of Georgetown – Municipal government, parks and recreation, and public services add another steady source of local employment.

Historic Landmarks Near Georgetown
Georgetown's historic downtown square is anchored by the Williamson County Courthouse, built in 1911, and surrounded by roughly 46 preserved Victorian and pre-World War I structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places, according to the City of Georgetown's tourism office. In 1997, Georgetown became the first city in Texas named a Great American Main Street City by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Just a half-mile from the square, Southwestern University's 700-acre campus adds another layer of historic character as Texas's oldest institution of higher education.

The Williamson Museum, located right on the downtown square, showcases the county's history through photographs and artifacts, and offers guided tours of the square and courthouse.

Each April, the square hosts the Red Poppy Festival, celebrating Georgetown's designation as the Red Poppy Capital of Texas with live music, a car show, and family activities.
Parks & Outdoor Recreation Near Georgetown
Blue Hole Park offers a limestone-lined swimming lagoon along the San Gabriel River just blocks from downtown, making it one of the most popular outdoor spots in the city. San Gabriel Park adds 180 acres of green space with hiking and biking trails, sports fields, and a disc golf course along the river's north shore. Nearly nine miles of hike-and-bike trails follow the San Gabriel River through town, and Lake Georgetown, a few miles outside the city, offers boating, fishing, and additional trail access for residents who want more room to roam.
Arts & Entertainment Near Georgetown
Inner Space Cavern, discovered in 1963 during the construction of I-35, offers guided tours through underground rock formations just south of downtown and has become one of Georgetown's most distinctive attractions. The Georgetown Art Center hosts rotating exhibits and classes on the downtown square, and several movies and television productions, including Friday Night Lights and Dazed and Confused, have filmed scenes in and around the city's historic streets.
Shopping & Dining Near Georgetown
The downtown square is home to more than 40 shops and roughly 45 restaurants, ranging from boutique clothing stores to antique shops and local wine-tasting rooms. Wolf Ranch, a large retail development on the west side of the city, adds big-box shopping and a regular farmers market to the mix. Between the historic square's local character and Wolf Ranch's convenience, Georgetown residents have a wide range of everyday shopping and dining options without needing to drive into Austin.
