For rent by owner is a spacious 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment near downtown Council Bluffs. Apartment features high ceilings, nice yard (soon to be surrounded with privacy fence), clean carpet (about 1 year old), new kitchen appliances, washer/dryer in separate laundry room, private entry, large living room, plenty of storage space, and east-facing sun porch. We pay for gas and water, tenant to cover their electricity (on separate meter from rest of house). Unit is entire second floor of house at 517 S. 7th St. in Council Bluffs, which is on the last block of 7th before you get on the South Expressway heading south towards Manawa. So, its convenient to get places in and around CB; I work in LaVista and am able to get there in less than 20 minutes as I-80 is only 2 minutes away. On a good day I can catch a fish at Manawa 5 minutes after leaving the house ;-) We cover yard work and snow removal, etc. We dont allow pets, and were fine with Section 8 applicants. Lease term is one year. Deposit equivalent to one months rent is required, half due at lease signing with the other half to be paid with second months rent. New window AC unit is provided. Will share the nice back patio with you so you've got a spot to grill or enjoy a cold one. About the owners/landlords- We're a younger husband and wife, have had the house for a little over a year. The place is huge, and we barely use the first floor in which we live. We're friendly, reasonable people that are easy to get along with. If you're respectful, and you can keep your word, we'll get along great. To tour the apartment and pick up an application, or to ask us a question, please just reply to this posting, and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
