Georgetown, DE 72 Apartments for Rent

Every couple of years, Georgetown plays host to a rather unconventional event known as "Return Day" when the streets come alive with residents partying the day away. "Return Day" arises from the colonial days whereby the general public would congregate in the town center to hear the final results of the elections which had taken place two days prior.

Georgetown is the perfect place to live if you like having plenty of beaches close by -- and who doesn't love the beach? And if the thought that quick drive will take you into the heart of a thriving forest excites you, then you've certainly come to the right location! Even though the town resides within an area of no more than four square miles, there's still plenty enough to see and do here, so there's little room for boredom to set in!

Moving to Georgetown

The layout of little Georgetown is a rather unusual affair. The heart of the town has been constructed in a circular format, where most other towns tend to be organized in a more traditional square shape. Many of the downtown buildings were designed in the Victorian Gothic style, and have now been added to the National Register of Historic Places.

What to Bring

When searching for property rentals in Georgetown, it's really no different to when searching elsewhere in the country in terms of what you will need to then be able to sign the contract. For starters, it's advisable to bring along some cash to pay for a month's rent in advance, and also to make a deposit on your chosen abode. The deposit tends to be equivalent to a single month's rent. Further, you'll need proof of your ID and some proof that you are making enough income to afford the rent. You'll need some character references -- three should be plenty, and you may be asked to undergo a credit check to prove that you're not up to your eyeballs in debt.
