Hey there! I’m Sarah, and I’ve been helping students and families find homes near Indiana Wesleyan for years. Let me tell you about this Fairmount apartment – it’s one of those rare finds that gives you space, location, and affordability all in one package.

The Location You Can’t Beat
Literally right next to Indiana Wesleyan – I timed it yesterday, and you can walk to campus in under five minutes. But here’s what people don’t think about – you’re also close to grocery stores, downtown Marion, and just about everything else you need. The best part? You get this great location without paying the “campus premium” that so many places charge.

Space That Makes Sense for Real Life
Three real bedrooms in Marion for $850? That’s getting harder to find these days. The hardwood floors throughout are original and well-maintained – they’ve got that character you just don’t find in newer buildings. The 1,160 square feet feels even bigger because of how the rooms flow.

The Utilities Setup That Actually Saves You Headaches
That $245 flat fee for all utilities and lawn care? It might sound like just another charge, but trust me – it’s a blessing. No setting up accounts with the utility company, no surprise $200 heating bills in January, and no worrying about mowing the lawn when you’re busy with exams. It all just gets handled.

Straight Talk About the Details
The window AC units work fine for our Indiana summers, and the forced air heat keeps you warm in winter. The laundry hook-ups in the lower level mean you can finally have your own washer and dryer instead of dealing with coin-operated machines. Street parking is readily available – I’ve never seen it fill up completely.

What You Should Know
They’re pretty strict about the application requirements – the 3x income rule, clean records, all that. But honestly? That usually means you’ll have good neighbors. The pet policy is reasonable – one or two smaller pets are welcome, just no aggressive breeds.

Why This Place Stands Out
In a market where everyone’s trying to charge more for less, this apartment delivers honest value. It’s not fancy, but it’s solid, comfortable, and in the perfect location. I’ve had families live here for years while their kids go through IWU, and I’ve watched students graduate and wish they could take the apartment with them.

The current residents are quiet and keep to themselves – we’re just asking that you respect their privacy until they move out in December.

Come take a walk through the neighborhood. Picture yourself living here – walking to class, having space for a home office in one bedroom, and actually being able to afford living close to campus.
