About Historic Rushton Senior Apartments

The Rushton is a Senior Apartment Community for households age 55+.

Secured by Indiana Landmarks in 2005 and purchased by South Bend Heritage in 2012 – The Rushton is shining once again as a prominent fixture of downtown South Bend. Newly renovated in 2013, leasing is now underway for the 23 units which are mix of studio, one and two bedroom units.
