    Northwest Bloomington’s 47404 blends quiet, tree-lined neighborhoods with easy access to downtown and IU, set amid rolling limestone country and a classic four-season Midwestern climate (lush springs, warm summers, colorful fall foliage, light winter snow). You’ll find older bungalows beside newer townhomes and apartments, a laid-back, community-forward vibe, and plenty of family- and pet-friendly spaces. Everyday needs are close at hand: Kroger on Kinser Pike, ALDI on N College, and the Bloomingfoods Near West Side co-op; caffeine fixes at Hopscotch and Uel Zing; and a casual dining scene with taquerias, pizza spots, and patios at Upland Brewing and Switchyard Brewing. Outdoor time is easy at Cascades Park and Golf Course, the B-Line Trail, the Northwest YMCA, and Hoosier Heights climbing, with shopping at Whitehall Plaza and along the N College/Walnut corridor. Quick links to the 45/46 Bypass and I-69 simplify regional trips. According to Zillow market trends (past few months), the median rent sits in the low $1,300s, with most listings ranging roughly from the high $900s to about $1,900 per month.
