Rent.com's Guide to Apartments for Rent near Indianapolis, IN
Renting a duplex is the next best thing to
renting a house. Duplex
rentals look like houses that are split into two side-by-side apartments
(although some are split into upper and lower level apartments). Typically
the rental property includes a yard or patio and a garage. Renting a duplex
in Indianapolis can be a great option for young couples starting a family or
older couples looking to downsize since the kids moved out.
How to Find Indianapolis Duplex Rentals
Duplex rentals in Indianapolis can
easily be found using online apartment guides. You are more likely to find
duplex rentals in residential neighborhoods than in downtown urban areas that
consist mainly of high-rise apartment and condo complexes. Determine your
budget and size criteria first and then try to narrow your search by
neighborhood.
Downtown Indianapolis is broken up into six
artistic, historical, and modern districts known as:
- Broad Ripple
Village - Six miles north of downtown, this art scene has parks
and historic buildings as well as shops and clubs with live music.
- Canal and White
River State Park - Indiana's museum and cultural attractions
corridor, including a zoo, gardens, art museums, the NCAA Hall of
Champions, Victory Field, and the waterway.
- Fountain Square
- A historic neighborhood with a European village kind of feel.
- Indiana Ave.
- Home to the Madame Walker Theatre Center, this historic
neighborhood is where Indianapolis's jazz scene can be found.
- Massachusetts Ave.
- An arts and theater district, this area is full of shops and
restaurants.
- Wholesale District
- This area includes the Circle Centre mall, hotels, and various
forms of entertainment.
How to Rent a Duplex
Renting a duplex in Indianapolis is almost
exactly like applying to rent an apartment. You will typically be asked to
fill out an application and submit to a background check or provide recent
paystubs and/or references. Duplexes for rent that are owned and operated by
rental companies will follow this process. If the duplex for rent is privately
owned and maintained-for example, if the duplex owner lives in one half
and rents out the other half-then you may not be subjected to such a
rigorous process. Private owners may be more subjective in their selection of
a tenant. As with any rental arrangement, make sure you have a copy and that
you clearly understand your rental agreement.
