These often have wood siding, smaller windows, and less storage, but they can be closer to Main Avenue, Pioneer Park, and the courthouse area. Toward the south and east, apartments often feel newer and more spread out, with more off-street parking and easier car access to 6th Street and 22nd Avenue. Houses for rent are scattered across the city, often with fenced yards, basements, and detached garages, but exterior upkeep and snow removal can vary more than in apartments.
