Comanche, TX Homes for Rent

Comanche was the site of one of the Old West’s most notorious shootouts. In May 1874, famed gunslinger John Wesley Hardin was celebrating his 21st birthday at the Jack Wright Saloon when Brown County Deputy Sheriff Charles Webb arrived. According to legend, Webb said he had an arrest warrant for a member of Hardin’s gang, which led to a gunfight that Webb did not survive. Hardin shot him and escaped, but was later arrested for the crime and served 17 years in prison. The city is a bit less wild now, though there are nods to Hardin and its Old West roots throughout the area. Modern-day Comanche is a rural community with a growing restaurant scene and housing options that can fit many budgets. “I’ve lived here my whole life,” says Rylee Estrada, an aide at the Comanche Public Library. “I like the location. I like that I don’t have many close neighbors. We have a grocery store and two dollar stores. It’s just quiet and comfortable here.” The city has many older ranch-style homes that can range from $130,000 to $300,000. Larger traditional properties with lots of acreage or luxury amenities can run from $485,000 to $675,000. There are also parcels of land available for development,
