Breckenridge, TX Homes for Rent

Breckenridge offers residents a renovated downtown and access to local lakes and outdoor attractions in Central Texas. The community has a walkable downtown, with plenty of restaurants, a museum and local events. Nearby, Hubbard Creek Reservoir offers locals and tourists a chance to fish, boat and enjoy the weather in Stephens County. Breckenridge also has a diverse economy, with oil and gas, manufacturing and health care being the main staples of employment. “Unlike many rural towns that are shrinking, we’re growing. says Jeannine Herrington, a real estate agent with H Bar Realty and a Breckenridge resident. People from the Metroplex are discovering us—buying ranch land or lake property, and even starting small businesses here. There’s real opportunity and a strong sense of possibility.” The community was established during Texas’s oil boom in the 1920s, and the industry still plays a role in the local economy. However, industrial services are a significant industry, with Bridgeport Truck Manufacturing and homebuilder RGN Services having facilities in Breckenridge. “Our industrial sector is booming, offering a wide range of job opportunities for skilled workers,” says Herrington.
