Living in Merrillville, IN

The sprawling community of Merrillville enjoys a strategic location at the center of several major transportation links. At one time, the unincorporated communities of Merrillville, Rexville, Lottaville, Ainsworth, Turkey Creek, Ross, and Deep River were all governed by Ross Township. In 1971, this collection of small communities united to form the incorporated town of Merrillville. Along with Hobart, Merrillville has evolved into a retail hub for Northwest Indiana and is the home of a regional mall. The town also offers a major healthcare institution, an expansive library, and an abundance of lush parkland. Within the town boundaries, residents are able to enjoy more than two dozen local parks, a Lake County park, and a state park. Private and public golf courses and nearby lakes appeal to outdoor enthusiasts, while families appreciate easy access to quality facilities in neighborhood parks from picnic areas to playgrounds and sports fields. Attractions in Gary, Crown Point, Hobart, and Schererville are all available within minutes from Merrillville, further enhancing the quality of life.
