Commanche Home for Rent

Commanche, located 3 miles south of downtown Lafayette, is known for its prefabricated houses, built by National Homes between 1940 and 1963. The housing blend consists of single-family homes and rentals, with common styles including ranch-style, Cape Cod and bi-level. Houses can be as small as 900 square feet, but some have been expanded. Properties in the northwest section of Commanche have an increased flood risk. Major roads like Interstate 65 and U.S. Routes 23 and 52 are nearby, easing commutes to nearby cities like Chicago and Indianapolis. CityBus stops are available along Brady Lane and S. 18th Street. Students attend public schools in the Lafayette School Corporation, including Jefferson High School, which offers over 60 dual-credit courses through partnerships with Purdue University and Ivy Tech Community College. Nearby retail and restaurant options include a Walmart five minutes away, two Pay Less grocery stores within a 10-minute drive and numerous fast-food joints. Tippecanoe Mall is just 2 miles away, and popular local eateries include Teay's River Brewing & Public House and Walt's Other Pub. For outdoor recreation, residents can visit Armstrong Park, which features a walking trail, playgrounds, and sports courts, or Columbian Park, home to a zoo and Tropicanoe Cove water park. The Beck Lane Boys & Girls Club and the local YMCA are also nearby. Neighbors gather for nearby annual events like A Taste of Tippecanoe and the Feast of the Hunters' Moon.
