Renting a house often feels like you have to make sacrifices on the amenities your family would intentionally purchase. Features like a fully fenced yard or an open concept living space might not always be available in your price range or in a chosen town.
Special features may be hard to come by in rental properties, but these current MilitaryByOwner rental listings near Fort Benning, Georgia, have that “something extra” renters are looking for.

Special Feature: Cul-de-sac
Parents do love a home on a cul-de-sac. Little traffic and neighborly interaction make it a perfect place to play and chat.
It’s not unusual for a rental home to lack curb appeal. But not this one! The color scheme and details of the exterior make for a house that renters will be proud to come home to. Flowering trees and rose bushes in both the front and back yards evoke a warm and pleasant atmosphere, which will be easy to enjoy under the charming pergola in the back.
Another family-friendly feature found in this house is the layout of the bedrooms. All four are neutrally painted and found upstairs. The master bedroom has a sitting area that could be useful for a workout space or home office. Downstairs, the house has an open concept living plan with plenty of extra storage in the kitchen. The property is protected by a security system.
More kid-friendly perks: recreation area with pool, playground, nature trails, baseball fields, and picnic areas. Here’s a bonus for the parents--just 15 minutes to either front or back gates to Fort Benning.
