Kokomo Apartments for Rent

Directly north of Indianapolis, the city of Kokomo is classically Midwestern, from its rolling hills to its curvy, ornate Victorians. As the county seat of Howard County, Kokomo is a large city with many government offices located downtown. It is also home to several colleges and universities, including Indiana University Kokomo and Purdue College of Technology. Other major Kokomo employers include Chrysler LLC, Delphi Corporation, and Haynes International.

Kokomo’s history is preserved in several historic sites, including the Vermont Covered Bridge. Located in Highland Park, it is the final remaining bridge of its kind in Indiana. Also located in Highland Park, the Elwood Haynes Museum celebrates the life and career of Haynes, an inventor credited with developing the first commercially built car. The Pioneer Cemetery is the location of Chief Kokomo’s gravesite, a Miami Indian chief for whom the town was named.

After you find your perfect Kokomo apartment to rent, you’ll enjoy the city’s many parks, museums, shops, restaurants, and theaters. During the summer, residents cool off at Kokomo Beach’s leisure pool, lazy river, slide tower, lap pool, and other waterslides and play areas.
