Homes for Rent in Williamston, NC

Williamston was originally founded as a port town on eastern North Carolina’s Roanoke River, but today most people move here for a slower pace of life. “It’s a small, quiet town, and we’re getting a lot of people retiring here,” says Georgie Lilley, a Realtor and broker with Keller Williams Realty Points East who’s sold homes in the area for 34 years. Williamston is the seat of Martin County and features a variety of locally owned restaurants and national retailers. The annual Carolina Stampede Music Fest draws people here from around the area, as does the popular Senator Bob Martin Eastern Agricultural Center, which is a regional hub for equestrian events. Grassy lawns and mature trees surround the National, Colonial Revival and ranch-style homes in Williamston’s town center. Some have driveways leading to attached garages, and parking is also available on the narrow streets. Outside of town, established subdivisions like Woodland Acres have a more suburban feel, and there are also rural multi-acre properties surrounded by farmland. Prices typically range from around $70,000 to $400,000. Manufactured homes can range from $50,000 to $200,000. Low-rise rental apartments are
