Here is what the published figures show and how to read them. - Author: Housing Ledger Editorial - Tags: Georgetown TX, rent prices, Williamson County, renting, #gce-4abaa445 Zillow Rental Manager puts the average rent in Georgetown, TX at $2,090 a month [\[1\]](https://www.zillow.com/rental-manager/market-trends/georgetown-tx/?ref=josetijam.com). That is the highest of the three figures here, so use it as a ceiling when you set a citywide budget.

That figure is 24% below the national average of $1,667 [\[2\]](https://www.apartments.com/rent-market-trends/georgetown-tx/?ref=josetijam.com). For a renter, that gap means Georgetown has sat well under the typical U.S. level on this measure, which can make it a more affordable starting point than many other cities. Realtor.com reports a median of $1,999 for homes for rent [\[3\]](https://www.realtor.com/apartments/Georgetown%5FTX/type-single-family-home?ref=josetijam.com). A median is the middle value, so half the listed homes cost more and half cost less. If you want a house rather than an apartment, this is the figure closest to your search. ## Why do the Georgetown rent figures differ so much? The Georgetown figures differ because each source measures something different, covers a different mix of homes, and was updated on a different day. Check the measure and the date before you compare two numbers. ### What each source measures | Source | Figure | What it measures | Date shown | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------- | ------------------------- | ---------- | | WanBridge [\[4\]](https://wanbridge.com/educate/cost-of-living-in-georgetown/?ref=josetijam.com) | Range from studio to four-bedroom | Typical rent by unit size | Not shown | ### Unit type changes the figure Studios and one-bedrooms sit lower than houses. A citywide average mixes small apartments with single-family homes, so it lands somewhere between them. Realtor.com's figure covers only homes for rent [\[3\]](https://www.realtor.com/apartments/Georgetown%5FTX/type-single-family-home?ref=josetijam.com). If you need an apartment, an apartment-only source such as ApartmentList will match your search better [\[5\]](https://www.apartmentlist.com/tx/georgetown?ref=josetijam.com). ### Dates vary Choose the source whose unit type and date match your search, and use the others only as context. ![A person sits at a kitchen table with a laptop open to rental listings, with a notebook and coffee beside it.](https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?q=person%20using%20laptop%20at%20kitchen%20table&w=800&h=450&rs=1&c=4) ## How much rent should you expect for each unit size? The unit size you need matters more than any citywide figure. In Georgetown, the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment is $1,268 or more, and for a two-bedroom apartment it is $1,612 or more [\[5\]](https://www.apartmentlist.com/tx/georgetown?ref=josetijam.com). ### Studios and four-bedroom homes Studios and four-bedroom homes sit at opposite ends of the scale. Rent in Georgetown ranges from $1000 (for a studio apartment) to $2000 (for a four-bedroom residence) [\[4\]](https://wanbridge.com/educate/cost-of-living-in-georgetown/?ref=josetijam.com). A studio and a four-bedroom home are very different budgets, so match the figure to the home you plan to rent. If you share a home with roommates or have a large family, the four-bedroom figure is the one to use. Apartment averages describe smaller units and will understate what a four-bedroom home costs. ### The wider apartment range For apartments as a group, the range is wide. The average rent for apartments in Georgetown, TX, is between $1,197 and $2,346 in 2026 [\[6\]](https://www.rent.com/texas/georgetown-apartments/rent-trends?ref=josetijam.com). A midpoint between those two numbers tells you little about any single unit.

Use the range as the outer limits for any apartment. ![A bright one-bedroom apartment living room with a sofa, kitchen counter, and large window letting in daylight.](https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?q=bright%20one-bedroom%20apartment%20living%20room%20with%20large%20window&w=800&h=450&rs=1&c=4) ## How does Georgetown compare with the national average and nearby cities? Georgetown's average rent looks low against the national figure but high against several nearby cities. Which comparison matters depends on where you are moving from and what you can afford. ### Below the national average Apartments.com puts the average rent in Georgetown at $1,273 a month. [\[2\]](https://www.apartments.com/rent-market-trends/georgetown-tx/?ref=josetijam.com) That figure is 24% below the national average of $1,667 a month. [\[2\]](https://www.apartments.com/rent-market-trends/georgetown-tx/?ref=josetijam.com) If you are moving from a higher-cost metro, this means a typical Georgetown rental on this measure costs noticeably less than the typical rent across the country. The national comparison is a broad benchmark, not a local price. It tells you how Georgetown stands in the country overall, but it does not tell you what a specific building will ask. ### Above several nearby cities RentHop puts Georgetown's average at $1,999 a month. [\[7\]](https://www.renthop.com/average-rent-in/georgetown-tx?ref=josetijam.com) That is well above the Apartments.com figure, so the two sites give you very different starting points for the same town. RentHop also reports that 5 cities nearby have an average rent lower than that. [\[7\]](https://www.renthop.com/average-rent-in/georgetown-tx?ref=josetijam.com) On RentHop's numbers, Georgetown is one of the pricier options in its area, so if you are choosing between nearby towns, it will often cost you more per month. ### What this means for your budget The Apartments.com average fits inside it, but the RentHop average does not, so the same town can look affordable or out of reach depending on the source you read. Use each figure only against the comparison it was measured for. Compare the national benchmark for context, and compare the nearby-city result when you are deciding between towns. ## How can you check current rent before you budget? Check the date on each figure, count the active listings behind it, and compare only the unit type you plan to rent. Together these steps give you a current number to budget with, instead of one citywide average. ### Check the date on each figure Look for the date on every rent page before you use its number. Zillow Rental Manager's Georgetown page shows a date of 6 days ago [\[1\]](https://www.zillow.com/rental-manager/market-trends/georgetown-tx/?ref=josetijam.com). Apartment List's rent rates were updated 3 days ago [\[5\]](https://www.apartmentlist.com/tx/georgetown?ref=josetijam.com). Write the date beside each figure. When two numbers disagree, the newer one usually tells you more about today's market than the bigger one. ### Count the active listings A rent average means more when you know how many homes it is based on. Realtor.com's houses-for-rent page lists 331 active homes for rent in Georgetown [\[3\]](https://www.realtor.com/apartments/Georgetown%5FTX/type-single-family-home?ref=josetijam.com). That count shows how much choice you have right now. If the count is small, expect a single average to move more from one month to the next. ### Compare the unit type you want Do not stop at the citywide average. A figure that covers all rentals mixes studios, apartments, and houses, so it may not match the home you would rent. Start by deciding how many bedrooms you need. Then compare listings only against the figure for that unit size. For example, a two-bedroom listing tells you more when you set it beside a two-bedroom figure than beside a citywide average. Keep the number you settle on in your budget notes. When a new listing appears, you can see at a glance whether its rent sits above or below the typical rent for the unit you want. ## What should you plan for when you rent in Georgetown? The citywide average is a starting point, not a budget. Before you set a number, decide how many bedrooms you need, since your budget should follow the unit you will live in rather than the average for the whole city. Pick that **unit size** first, then use the figure for it. Once you know your unit size, set your budget near the typical range for that size and leave some room for fees the headline rent may not show. Then compare current listings for the bedrooms you need, and only move forward with the homes that fit that budget. ## Sources 1.
