I hope someone can give me leads. I am a IU student interning May-August in Indy. I am looking for a furnished apt that perhaps I could sub-lease or possibly an extended hotel stay. I cannot go any higher than $650 a month. Most places I have called want more than that. I am hoping someone on TA can recommend places that are in a good neighborhood and reasonably priced. I will be working downtown. Thank you!
Temporary Housing
Linn51: Unfortunately, I am not up to date on the local rental market. Short-term furnished is kind of a tough one. There are furnished apartments on the far northside called Pickwick Farms, which are short-term rentals. I stayed there several years ago for a few months and it was fine. It%26#39;s kind of a haul to downtown, however, and I doubt it will meet your price limitations. I think it was $35/day back then. Their web site is not terribly helpful but here it is anyway. You might call and ask if they have any mercy for a starving student.

May I inquire as to where you are interning? Is the company or IU giving you any help with this?

By the way, if you are targeting a particular place and want to know more about the immediate area, go ahead and post that information (probably shouldn%26#39;t put the exact address though if it is a private rental) and you can probably get some insight from some of us yocals.
You might contact/go to some Indianapolis colleges to see if there are students who are trying to sublease their apartments for the summer. Back in the olden days there were bulletin boards with that information. Now it%26#39;s probably available online somewhere.
Good luck!
Also, if you go to www.move.com, type in the city, maximum rent, and ';furnished'; in key words some apartments will show up.
';Good'; for a college student is sometimes different from ';good'; for an older adult. Lively/loud or peaceful/boring if you know what I mean.
Good luck!
