Local guide

What it's like living in
Temple, TX

Temple is the largest of the six cities we serve at Legacy Signature Rentals. Here's what life is like for our renters:

Live close to a thriving employment sector

Baylor Scott & White Health operates its flagship medical center in Temple, which makes healthcare the city's largest employment sector. McLane Company, one of the country's largest grocery and foodservice distributors, is headquartered here as well. Temple draws renters from across the Killeen–Temple metropolitan area rather than depending on any single industry.

Enjoy an easy and accessible commute

I-35 runs directly through Temple, putting Waco about 35 minutes north and Austin roughly an hour south. Fort Cavazos is a manageable commute to the west. That combination is why the rental market here includes military families, healthcare staff, I-35 corridor professionals, and commuters priced out of Austin.

Two lakes are within a short drive of Temple

Lake Belton and Stillhouse Hollow Lake both sit a short drive from our Temple, Texas homes for rent. These are open for boating, fishing, and swimming through most of the year. Miller Park keeps green space and walking paths inside city limits. This means weekend recreation in Temple does not require leaving Bell County.

Stay close to downtown amenities

Downtown Temple centers on the restored Santa Fe Depot, which now houses the Railroad and Heritage Museum and hosts the city's downtown events. Temple College offers two-year degrees and workforce programs in town. Temple Independent School District serves most addresses inside the city.
