A new garage access door opens to a large, fully fenced backyard--perfect for pets, play, or entertaining guests. Conveniently located near fairgrounds, grocery stores, dining, and shopping, this home offers both comfort and accessibility.

    "I’ve lived here since 2017 . This is the longest I’ve stayed renting one place . Personally I love my neighbors a the area I’m in . Literally have not had one problem in the 7 years I’ve been here . But all my other homes on the opposite side of town I’ve had all sorts of problems . But my neighborhood is unique bc my neighbors are more like family. We watch out for one another we help one another! "

    "There is a dog park, and it seems as a pretty welcoming place to take your animals. Some places do not seem very fit considering bad sidewalks or unmanaged yards but most of the town is fine!"

    "I have worked in the Marion area when I was younger. I raised 4 children in Marion, three of which graduated from River Valley High School prior to our moving. One has retured to live here again and opperated a Beauty Salon. I loved the area as is was a smaller community, much like the one I was raised in. I recently married and moved away, but hope to return in 5 years when my husband retires !!"
