1314 E Atwater Ave is an 8-bedroom house for rent on the southern edge of IU’s campus in Bloomington, one street south of 3rd. New to Elkins Apartments in 2026! A lovely one-story brick home with eight bedrooms, TWO kitchens, and an expansive front yard that sets up the warm, inviting feel waiting for you inside.
Available for the 2027-2028 school year.
Eight Bedrooms, One Level, and a Basement That Earns Its Keep
Here’s what’s unusual: this is a one-story brick house that sleeps eight. No third-floor trek, no attic room nobody wanted. Everything on the main level, plus a fully finished basement underneath with a bonus kitchen of its own.
Yes, two kitchens. Cook on one level while somebody else is making a mess on the other. A laundry room in the house, so nobody’s loading a basket into a car. And out back, a covered patio with a picnic table — grill, study, argue about the lineup, whatever the weather allows.
There’s also a detached storage garage. Call it a garage, call it a bike barn, call it where the camping gear and the snowboard live all year. And off-street parking is available right on site.
Coffee First. Then Everything Else.
Soma and Crumble are less than a block away — caffeine and something sweet before you’ve fully woken up. Dragon is right there too when it’s a dumpling kind of night. You are not getting in a car for any of this, and on a February morning in Bloomington that matters more than you’d think.
Walk to the South Side of Campus
The IU School of Optometry is at 800 E Atwater — the same street you live on. The Jacobs School of Music, the Musical Arts Center, and the School of Education are all an easy walk, and 3rd Street is one block north for the buses when you want the rest of town. Local and IU routes both stop at Atwater and Eagleson.
