Attractive Rensselaer, INCommonly called the "Gateway to Northwest Indiana," the Jasper county seat of Rensselaer combines a close small-town spirit with new-growth opportunities. The city is well situated geographically for an easy comrnute to the leading metropolitan centers of two states: Chicago and Indianapolis. With its local college, a major hospital, governmental offices, thriving businesses, and arts community, Rensselaer serves as a hub of activity and amenities. The nearby community of Remington is one of the very small towns that benefits from the development in Rensselaer. Remington is home to several thriving trucking companies and shares an active chamber of commerce with Rensselaer. In addition to regional recreational sites that include Lake Michigan and Indiana Dunes attractions, the city parks and recreation programs meet the needs of all age groups with a kaleidoscope of facilities and activities. Nearly 80 acres throughout Rensselaer are devoted to open space and sports facilities. Residents enjoy baseball diamonds, a swimming pool, picnic shelters, lighted tennis courts, canoe landings, a boat launch, an ice-skating pond, sports leagues, a running track, and a football field. Those who are looking for championship golf on magnificent fairways can explore membership opportunities at the local country club. | More Local Area InformationThe small town of Wheatfield is primarily residential in nature with a scattering of convenient services and shops.
