Find a Muncie Apartment

Muncie has a history that goes back almost two hundred and fifty years to when the Lenape first settled in the area. It has been a manufacturing hub since the late 1800s, and for much of that time, Ball Brothers was one of the largest employers in the city. The university, Ball State University, now enjoys that distinction. Ball State is an NCAA Division I school, and the Cardinals are supported with an intense passion by the locals.

Muncie has a longstanding reputation of having an excellent art and music scene. In addition to great live music throughout the year, there are numerous festivals that draw extra visitors to the town in summer.

When to Search

Staying in the Know
