Bremen’s tagline may be simple, but this a vibrant area that will delight all types of renters. Nestled in northern Indiana about 20 miles south of South Bend, Bremen provides a suburban setting with a dazzling downtown district that’s full of character and conveniences. Once a booming center of mint farming, Bremen still retains the moniker of the “Mint City” and the area surrounding the town remains fertile farmland. Low-lying apartment complexes and affordable single-family home rentals abound in Bremen, meaning there are plenty of options regardless of your budget, style, or needs.
Take a walk along Plymouth Street discover the incredible array of locally owned restaurants, shops, and bars that contribute to Bremen’s tight-knit community feel. The Community Hospital of Bremen is a large employer for the area, but many residents commute to surrounding towns like Nappanee for even more employment and entertainment opportunities. Shumaker Westside Park, Sunnyside Park, and Jane’s Park Playground give Bremen an outdoor feel and keep kids and adults entertained all year round.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
