Living in Gary, IN

The bustling metropolitan city of Gary serves as the hub of Northwest Indiana, just minutes from downtown Chicago. Lake Michigan and three major interstates are among the transportation assets for residents and businesses. Situated at the northern end of Lake County, Gary offers everything from lakefront beauty to championship golf courses and outstanding shopping. Some of the most famous of the architectural treasures in the city are the statues that grace public places, the Gary Bathing Beach Aquatorium, Marquette Pavilion, and a number of Frank Lloyd Wright homes. The vintage Westside historic district reflects a variety of architectural styles in homes that were originally part of a 1906 “company town" built by US Steel. Modern attractions include the Gary Steelheads baseball team and beautiful recreational beaches. Water sports, fishing, golfing, live state performances, popular casinos, and a pulsating nightlife have made Gary attractive to visitors as well as to newcomers. Alive with culture and history, Gary is shifting from its steel-industry past into a progressive future and more diverse economy.
