Whitely Homes for Rent

Whitely, a historically African American neighborhood in Muncie, is located a mile and a half northeast of downtown. Known for its affordability, Whitely features 1940s and 1950s cottages, with some homes dating back to the late 1800s and others built in the 21st century. Home prices are generally lower than the Muncie average, making it accessible for first-time buyers, though many homes may require renovations. The neighborhood is car-dependent, with three MITS bus stops providing public transportation options. Whitely's community spirit is fostered through shared spaces like the Muncie Public Library's Connection Corner and McCulloch Park, the city's largest park, which offers playgrounds, sports facilities, and year-round activities. The Whitely Neighborhood Association holds regular meetings and monthly food distributions, enhancing community engagement. Despite being a low-income and low-access area for groceries, residents can shop at nearby Target and ALDI, and enjoy local dining at Unc's BBQ food truck. Additional dining and retail options are available along McGalliard Road, including the Muncie Mall. The IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital is 3 miles away, and residents can fly out of Fort Wayne International Airport or Indianapolis International Airport, located 66 and 80 miles away, respectively.
