Rent.com's Guide to Apartments for Rent near Indianapolis, IN

Finding a duplex for rent in Indianapolis can be an ideal compromise between renting an apartment and renting a house. For people who have outgrown apartment living but who aren't yet ready for the expense of a house rental, a duplex can provide the right combination of factors to satisfy both the renter's modest budget and their desire to live in a house.

Finding a Duplex for Rent

To find duplexes for rent in Indianapolis, IN, search the areas surrounding downtown. Because some duplexes are remodeled houses, many of them are found in quieter residential areas.

Benefits of Renting a Duplex Apartment

Garage - Most duplexes have garages or carports.
Yard - You get to enjoy a yard without having to maintain it yourself.
Fewer Neighbors - In addition to the more peaceful, residential atmosphere, duplexes have fewer shared walls than apartments.
Pet Friendly - Because duplexes are more like houses than apartments and often include yard space, they are usually more likely to be pet friendly than apartments.
Various Layouts - Duplexes come in a few different configurations, some with two bedrooms or more. Most are split side-by-side, however some are split into upper and lower level apartments, meaning you have no shared walls and a good rent rate.
More Storage - Because of the house-like design and garage space, a duplex can offer much more storage space than an apartment.
Quicker Repairs - Fewer tenants and less property to maintain means repairs can be taken care of more quickly than in a large apartment complex.
