Our Homes

Each home is one of a kind and in a historic district. One unique generic fact about historic homes is their efficiency in being green. One of our homes won the "most efficient home award" for using the least electricity. Each is also centrally located, so you can save money on gas using the twin cities' Constitution Trail, a bike and runners trail throughout the entire area.

What is does each property have in common?

Location Near Cultural Areas

Whether Downtown Bloomington or Uptown Normal, our properties are within walking distance of cultural districts and events. Even better, the construction of our properties and the neighborhood layouts cause noise pollution to sound like the events are far away. However, it is quiet considering each location's proximity and accessibility to Cultural Arts and Business districts.

Next to primary road route

Bloomington/Normal has several main roads that lead directly to the interstate highways close to each property. This proximity makes commuting easy and efficient, saving the planet and tenants' gasoline expenses! What's unique to the historic neighborhoods is that proximity to the city bus routes, and the Constitution Trail eliminates the need for automobile usage.

Near Constitution Trail

This famous trail is interwoven into the twin cities routing structure. So this trail allows you to run or bike to any location in the twin cities. In addition, our properties are near the course, so you can bike or walk to work, grocery stores, Cultural and Business Districts, and events!

Dedicated Handyman

Our handyman is on deck ASAP for emergencies like a fire, smoke, and water damage. For non-emergency, Maintenance is there to assess the matter the next day on a Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, or Sunday. Tenants rave about the care of our properties!

Testimonials

"This house has been a wonderful home to our little family. My daughter has plenty of space to play, and the neighborhood is very nice, so my dog spends most of the day relaxing. It's so close to everything, too, downtown, uptown, the trail, etc. It has the quaint charm of a historic house but is still as comfortable as any new home. The landlords are very attentive and incredibly nice. I would highly recommend this property."

Quinn Roels - 11 Clinton Place

"I am looking for a home to rent for my family, where my girls can feel like they are at home. Talking to Carol made me feel a part of a community even before I looked at the house. Her attention to detail and love for the neighbors around 410 E. Mill really drew me in. Thank you, Carol, for the love and care you share when talking about each and every property you care for."

Patricia - 410 East Mill Street

"We have been living at 509 W Grove for the past year and a half. Bob has taken good care of us when something around the house needed to be fixed. Carol was very proactive about introducing us to the neighbors and that was a nice and unusual touch for a rental situation."

Paul - 509 West Grove

"We’ve enjoyed living at 410 E Mill for the past two years. The Hermanns respond and address any maintenance concerns quickly. During our time here, a new hot water heater and partial roof were installed. The neighbors have been friendly and the house is right around the corner from a park and the Bloomington Public Library. The property is easy to maintain as it only requires mowing during the warmer months. This house is ideal for pet-owners as the backyard is large and recent landscaping minimizes mud that your outdoor pets might track into the house. The full basement offers lots of storage so you don’t have to worry about where to put your stuff. We’re only moving out because we found a place closer to where we work, which will make having one car much easier.
It is also worth noting that we rented the house, site-unseen, as we were moving to Illinois from Virginia. We were in a bind as our other housing option had fallen through when someone recommended the Hermanns. We loved what we saw online and were able to facilitate a rental interview and lease signing digitally, making the entire process much easier."

Crystal Boyce - 410 East Mill Street

"We absolutely love our home on Clinton Place and just signed another lease. The owners are very diligent when it comes to taking care of the property and are great at communicating with us keeping us posted on maintenance/updates, etc. Whenever we have a question or problem (which is VERY rare) they are fast to respond (usually within a few hours – sometimes within minutes) and take care of things quickly/efficiently. There is a lot of value placed on protecting the home’s history as well as the local environment. Historic preservation and sustainability are very important to the owners which we appreciate and feel very good about."
