Rensselaer is the county seat of Jasper County and offers a perfect mix of small-town warmth and historic character. Anchored by a charming courthouse square, the city boasts classic architecture, locally owned shops, and a growing number of modern amenities.

Homebuyers can choose from beautifully preserved Victorians, new construction subdivisions, and roomy ranch-style homes — many at prices more competitive than larger cities. Rensselaer’s school system, community hospital, and local university satellite campus make it a hub for both families and professionals.
