Fifth Ward Homes for Rent

The Fifth Ward in Lima is one of the city's oldest neighborhoods, with homes primarily built in the 1920s. This area features ranch-style, Dutch Colonial, and bungalow houses, many of which have become Fannie Mae HomePath properties. Streets in the Fifth Ward often have sidewalks, ample greenery, spacious front lawns, and gravel or brick driveways. The Ottawa River forms the neighborhood's western boundary, providing a stretch of parkland for residents. Industry Park, home to Simmons Field where the Lima Locos play, connects via biking trails to Collett Street Park, which offers soccer fields, tennis courts, and baseball fields. Hover Park includes a playground and a pond for fishing and nature watching. Local shops and restaurants, such as Mello-Crème Donuts and Bite & Buzz bar, add to the neighborhood's charm. For more dining options, Bella Notta’s Pizza and Thai Foods Carry Out are just beyond the northern border. The Fifth Ward is close to essential services, with the Lima Refinery less than a mile south and Kindred Hospital two miles north. The downtown area, with its shopping and dining features, is just a mile away. While the local schools have average ratings, Lima Senior High School is noted for its strong choir and band programs.
