Upland, IN Homes for Rent

Upland, Indiana is a small college town centered around Taylor University, a highly rated private Christian school with about 2,100 students and a growing freshman class. The nearly 1,000-acre campus shapes daily life here, and most homes sit just north of the university on quiet streets. Housing features a wide range of styles and ages, from early-1900s houses and bungalows to ranch-style homes, new traditional builds, and manufactured homes, with many lots at least one-fifth of an acre and some over an acre. Eastbrook South Elementary, part of the Eastbrook Community School system, is well regarded and includes a robotics program. Everyday needs are met near Main Street and Berry Avenue, where residents find Walnut Creek Country Market with its Amish goods section, a Dollar General, Greek’s Pizzeria with its popular breadsticks, and Ivanhoe’s, a long-running local restaurant known for its extensive milkshake and sundae menu. Upland Park provides ball diamonds, basketball courts, a playground, and a seasonal farmers market with rotating themes, while the Main Street Trail and Seven Bridges Trail give residents crushed-limestone walking paths with benches, shade, and wildflowers. Upland Depot Park highlights the town’s railroad roots with a train-themed play structure and caboose, and it hosts the annual Christmas tree lighting. Interstate 69 just west of town connects residents to Marion 14 miles away, Fort Wayne about 55 miles north, Indianapolis about 80 miles south, and a nearby hospital 3 miles away in Gas City.
