I don’t deal with rentals, but I get lots of calls asking “What’s available to rent near Notre Dame?” My standard answer is that it’s always changing, so start with some online directories and then get on the phone. If I wanted short term housing near ND I’d start with the links below. Of course if I wanted housing for more than two years, I’d buy a South Bend condo and make a profit when I graduated, sold it, and moved away.

Craig’s List. You might have to wade through lots of strange ads here, but there are good listings too.
Rentals.com. Nice format. A few houses for rent, and lots of apartment complexes.
Apartmentguide.com. Basic data, including photos and maps, on the larger apartment complexes. Choose North Central Indiana for your “metro area.”
