Faculty, staff, graduate students, parents, and investors all buy homes near Indiana University, and each is looking for something different.
Types of homes near Indiana University
Close-in areas mix older single-family homes, small multi-unit buildings, and condos, many within walking distance of campus and the courthouse square. Parking, walkability, and bus access matter more here than almost anywhere else in town.
Buying for a student
If you’re a parent thinking about buying for a student, check IU’s current housing requirements first. IU requires new first-year undergraduates to live on campus, with a few exemptions. See IU Housing’s residency requirement and exemptions.
Buying to rent
If you’re buying to rent, Bloomington has its own rental rules and inspections, and I’ll point you to them before you make an offer.
