15 Apartments for Rent

Holland, MI

What's the secret to a happy life? Renting in Holland, of course. Inexpensive apartments, lake views, beach parks, and tons of tulips blooming throughout the town make even the most jaded and weary renters get a little giddy. So, if you're ready to be happier than a June bug at a porch light sale, then keep on reading and we'll tell you everything you need to know.

To describe Holland, we may have to wrap your mind around a rather quirky image. This little city is a Dutch soul in an American lake town with a thing for tulips, churches, innovation and pickles. That's right. Holland got its taste for pickles in 1897, and since then has built the largest pickle factory in the world, producing over a million pounds of pickles a day. It got its taste for tulips in 1930 when the first Tulip Time Festival celebrated a planting of 250,000 tulips. To this day, what seems like millions of these beautiful flowers can be seen around town. The innovative spirit of these clever Hollanders led to the "Snowmelt Project", a series of underground pipes pumping warm water beneath the historical downtown area. And now, a growing Latino population is adding some spice to this Dutch-American-Tulip-Church-Pickle town.

This will be an interesting blend of cultures in the near future. Can you imagine salsa dancing in wooden shoes? Well, keep an eye out at the annual Fiesta, held around Cinco de Mayo.

The best part of all is that Holland apartments for rent are about as inexpensive as it gets. With most studios, one bedroom, and even two bedroom apartments and townhomes renting for less than $600, you are sure to find the perfect pad without busting your budget. In the $600 - $750 range, you can find some really nice rental homes, duplexes, fourplexes, and so on. If you have more than $750 a month to spend on housing, you can find some nice, big three and four bedroom houses for rent, with even more expensive property rentals around historic downtown and on the waterfront. Or, if you're 55-years-old or better, you can get a rental in the most expensive place in town: the Lakeside Vista Retirement Community.

Wondering what types of amenities there are around here? Well, most apartments feature a swimming pool, BBQ pits and picnic areas, a laundry room, and a playground. There are also places with fitness centers, or at least a workout room. As far as unit features go, you can get an apartment with a washer and dyer, a garage, a fireplace, and in some places a yard. There are also furnished apartments for rent throughout town.

While small dogs and cats are always welcome, most apartments around town don't take kindly to large dogs and "aggressive" breeds. So, if you have a pit bull, then you might want to buy it a poodle disguise. Otherwise, you will have a very hard time getting into a rental around here, even if they claim to be "dog friendly".

Now it's time to find that new home in this cheerful little tulip town. Happy hunting!
