Keller Park Homes for Rent

Keller Park, located on the northwest side of South Bend, features vintage homes near the St. Joseph River. The neighborhood includes Cape Cod, ranch, and bungalow-style homes, mostly built between the 1920s and 1950s, averaging 1,270 square feet. Despite past flooding issues, the area offers scenic riverside trails for dog walking and running. Local organizations are working to revitalize the area, including building new homes and providing affordable housing using repurposed shipping containers. Keller Park includes several parks, such as the namesake Keller Park with a playground and sports courts, and the Riverside Trail, which connects to other city parks and includes a boat launch for kayaks and paddleboats. The neighborhood is part of the South Bend Community School Corporation, with students attending Muessel Elementary, Jefferson Middle School, and the highly-rated Adams High School, which offers the International Baccalaureate Program. Keller Park Church provides additional community support with childcare, faith-based education, and resources for families in need. Local businesses such as Bob's Pub and Fat Boys Creamery add to the neighborhood's features, while the Portage-Elwood intersection serves as the nearest shopping center, though it currently has limited offerings. Public transportation is accessible with bus lines running down Portage, connecting residents to downtown South Bend, 2 miles away. The University of Notre Dame is 2.5 miles east, and the South Bend International Airport is 4 miles west, providing convenient access to major employers and amenities.
