FROM SMALL RURAL TOWNS TO GROWING SUBURBS TO INDUSTRIAL CITIES, NORTHWEST INDIANA OFFERS AN ENVIRONMENT FOR YOU TO CALL HOME.
Communities like Gary, Hammond, East Chicago and Whiting provide an extensive industrial base and history rich neighborhoods for Northwest Indiana, often referred to as America’s Workshop. Suburban communities such as Dyer, Schererville and St. John are experiencing unprecedented growth as people have "discovered" Northwest Indiana as an ideal home in greater Chicagoland. Small towns like Chesterton, Crown Point, Demotte, Hebron and Valparaiso retain their historic charm while keeping pace with growth and development. Our rural communities like Fair Oaks, Rensselaer, Francesville and Knox offer the simple pleasures of family-friendly communities nestled among rolling farmland and pristine parks.
Great schools, a strong industrial/manufacturing base, recreational opportunities and traditional community values have made Northwest Indiana a great place to live and work for more than 150 years and will only get better in the years to come. Whatever you are looking for, you will find it here. We invite you to look at all we have to offer! For more information contact the Greater Northwest Indiana Association of REALTORS www.gniar.com
