Lafayette, IN Apartments for Rent

Lafayette hugs the Wabash River in Tippecanoe County and was founded in 1825 where riverboats could no longer travel upstream. Named for Revolutionary War hero Marquis de Lafayette, the city offers something for everyone. Those looking for apartments for rent in Lafayette will discover everything from restored historic buildings downtown to modern apartment communities in friendly neighborhoods like Highland Park and Glen Acres. The city covers 31 square miles and makes renting easy on the wallet, with one-bedroom apartments averaging around $1,042 monthly and two-bedroom units averaging $1,252.
