Situated in Clinton-DeKalb County, Cameron, Missouri is a land of parks and band music. Yes, you read that last part right. Big band is big in Cameron. So big that the Cameron Municipal Band is one of the few bands in the United States supported by city taxes, thanks to a decision voters made to support band tax back in 1929. So, be sure to run, walk, drive, or dance to the Thomas Price Pavillion at McCorkle Park in Cameron to hear the band play on ..... well,_ after _you find your house or condo for rent, that is!

Moving to Cameron

As far as condos and apartments go in Cameron, one bedroom garden level units and three-story 1 and 2 bedroom apartments are reasonably common. Studios are fairly rare so you'll have to look to beat the band. Well that is not to say that the Cameron Municipal Band is looking for rental housing for jam sessions. If you're looking for houses to rent, many of these are larger 4-6 bedroom homes, but there are also smaller single family places with just 2 bedrooms. No matter what type of rental properties you're looking at, make sure your proof of income, references, and security deposit are all in concert for a successful renting performance -- er, experience.

One thing to note, especially if you're seeking a month to month Cameron rental, is that some landlords here prefer tenants sign a one year lease.

It's something that may occur, especially if the apartment or house is being handled by a property management company. As far as costs for rentals in Cameron, there are both affordable and pricier options available throughout the different sections of the city.
