Bartlett Real Estate: Welcome to the “Best Little Town in Texas”

Surrounded by a rich heritage and old-fashioned charm, Bartlett homeowners enjoy a quiet, country lifestyle. From cozy single-family homes to sprawling ranch properties on large parcels of land, Bartlett has great choices for homebuyers who enjoy tranquility and nature. With beautiful historical buildings nestled among wildflower meadows and rich prairie grassland, it’s easy to see why Bartlett residents call their home “The Best Little Town in Texas.”

Located about 30 minutes northeast of Georgetown, 30 minutes southwest of Temple, and an hour northeast of downtown Austin and the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, Bartlett has easy access to its larger, neighboring communities. As a result, Bartlett is a viable option for people searching real estate listings to find a combination of small-town appeal and affordability with the convenience of easy access to urban comforts and conveniences.

“We decided to buy a home here for a few different reasons,” says Stephanie Lopez, a graduate student at the University of Texas who moved here from Phoenix two years ago with her husband Bryce. “It’s such a cute little place, and the people are friendly.” Bryce, a product specialist for Dell, commutes to Austin daily, while Stephanie drives into the city twice a week for school. “It was a combination of price and location,” Stephanie explains. “Real estate is affordable here, and Austin really isn’t that far away; it’s a nice commute, very scenic. We’ll never go back to city living!”
