Westside Homes for Rent

Westside in Muncie is a predominantly tenant-occupied neighborhood located south of Ball State University (BSU), with a significant population of students and staff. The area features early 20th-century single-family homes, including bungalows and American Foursquares, typically painted in neutral tones. These homes are modest in size, averaging around 1,500 square feet, and tend to sell quickly. Westside Park, situated along the White River, offers a wooden playground, gaga ball pit, basketball courts, and a picnic pavilion. The nearly 6-mile White River Greenway runs through the park, providing a scenic route for walking, jogging, or biking. Dining options in Westside include local favorites like Honey Beez Pancake House and Puerto Vallarta Mexican Restaurant, as well as chains like Pizza King and Dunkin'. The nearby Pay Less Super Market offers convenient grocery shopping. The Village shopping center, located just east of the neighborhood, is undergoing revitalization, including the construction of a new performing arts center and a hotel with a rooftop bar. For nightlife, Room 5 Piano Bar and Big Shots Pub are popular spots. Westside is pedestrian-friendly, with IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital and BSU both within a 15-minute walk. Downtown Muncie is less than 2 miles away and accessible via the White River Greenway or MITS bus. For air travel, residents use Fort Wayne International Airport or Indianapolis International Airport, both about 70 miles away.
