About This Home

As of August 2025

Tired of boring rental ads? Well, buckle up! We’ve got the rental of your dreams—and a few laughs along the way. Picture this: a charming two-story haven just a hop, skip, and a jump (okay, 2 blocks) from the serene River Greenway Trails on the St. Joseph River. Perfect for biking, jogging, or those "I need to pretend I'm active" leisurely walks. But wait, there’s more! You're less than three-quarters of a mile from all the action: Columbia Street, Promenade Park, Headwaters Park, Lawton Park, Science Central, Historic Old Fort, Lakeside Park, East Central Park... and basically every park ever created. It's like living in a park lover’s paradise! And if you're not feeling park-y, no worries. Just a quarter-mile stroll to Northside Park and the historic East State Blvd District, where you can stuff your face at local eateries and shop ‘til you drop. The house? Oh, it’s a gem! An inviting, large open front porch for morning coffee or evening wine (we don’t judge). Inside, it’s got all the bells and whistles: new flooring, new windows, brand new furnaces A one-car detached garage with a new opener ensures secure off-street parking and extra storage for your collection of...whatever it is you collect. Of course, we do have some fine print. Must pass a background and credit check (translation: pay your bills on time and don't have a history of evictions). Got good credit? You're golden! Sorry, no section 8**** small pet only with fee.
