Bremen, IN Home for Rent

In the late 19th century, German immigrants settled into northern Indiana's rich farmlands, forming a small agricultural community named after Bremen, Germany. Once a hub for producing mint, Bremen developed into a prototypical Midwestern town with long-standing mom-and-pop shops and traditions. “It’s quiet, and the lifestyle is just more relaxed,” says Realtor Yvonne Comeno with Masterson & Associates, who has over 30 years of experience in the region. “But, you’re not far from the Mishawaka area, which has more development.” Though Bremen offers a secluded feel amid miles of crop fields, big cities like Nappanee and South Bend easily accessible. Buyers will primarily find manufactured and single-family houses in Bremen. Ranch-style builds are most common, though Victorian homes, Colonial Revivals and New Traditional options also come on the market. Many areas have a suburban feel, with sidewalks lining green front lawns, garages and driveways. Prices often start at around $115,000 for houses needing renovations and can reach $520,000. On the outskirts of town in the countryside, an acreage may surpass $1 million, and manufactured homes sell between $125,000 and $235,000.
