Ellettsville, IN Homes for Rent

Ellettsville, Indiana, was among the players in the region’s renowned limestone trade. This town of under 8,000 people once provided stone for many buildings across the country, including landmarks like the Washington National Cathedral. Limestone craftsmanship remains one of the town’s most visible features, as seen by its public art and a few buildings in its historic downtown. “It’s a small town, but you’re not too far from Bloomington or Spencer . You can still, within 5 or 10 minutes, get to another town that’s a little bigger than Ellettsville,” says Michelle Stanger, a Realtor and owner of Stanger Homes. “It’s easy to get to the IU [Indiana University] games or concerts that are going on. And it’s up and coming and growing with housing.” Groups of mature trees line roads and surround homes in some parts of Ellettsville. Like in the region’s other communities, several homes here have limestone exteriors. The town has many ranch-style, bi-level, Colonial Revival and New Traditional homes. While there is new housing, there are also some historic 19th-century homes. Those older homes include the well-known Matthews Mansion, a Second Empire-style landmark. More housing is coming, too,
