Tucked into Northwest Indiana, along the Illinois border and just south of I-80, lies an affluent, professional community known as Munster. Beautiful homes, elegant churches, and landscaped streets as well as the 21,000 people residing in Munster are warm, friendly and welcome new residents with the same spirit as returning natives.

Munster is no accident of nature; the community's development has been carefully planned and rigid zoning, construction, and landscaping laws prevail. Munster is just the right size for maximum convenience, covering only seven and one-half square miles.

Munster is the premier community in Northwest Indiana. We feature top rated schools, affordable, quality housing, a thriving local economy, and excellent cultural and leisure opportunities. For three of the last five years, readers of the Hammond Times voted Munster as the best community to live in in the entire Calumet Region. When you look at all the facts, it's easy to see why. The School Town of Munster operates some of the best schools in the entire state of Indiana. From the first day of kindergarten through their high school graduation, when your children go to school in Munster, they will receive a truly world-class education.

Munster is the kind of place where you can let your kids walk down to the park with a friend and feel secure. The kind of place where you don't have to be afraid to make eye contact and say, "Hello" to someone walking down the street. The kind of place where violent crime is almost unheard of. Munster is the kind of place that every town in America would like to be. In Munster you and your family can feel safe. Our Police and Fire Departments work to create a safe community through fast response time and a commitment to training. Our departments also work with Munster citizens through education, outreach, and youth programs. When you move to Munster, you'll gain something all too rare in many cities...peace of mind.

The Town of Munster offers a wide variety of recreational opportunities for every taste. Whether your interest is sports, shopping, theater, or just catching some sun, Munster and our neighboring communities have the amenities you want to make the most of your leisure time. Munster also is home to a wide variety of civic groups and volunteer organizations, as well as church groups and school related activities. When you move to Munster, you won't have trouble finding things to do...you'll have trouble fitting them all in.

When you come to Munster you become more than just a resident...you become a part of our community. We're the type of town where neighbors get to know one another. Our citizens put down roots in Munster, and become involved in our schools, our churches, and our town. Since families tend to stay in Munster, their children get to grow up together and make lifelong friendships.

All too often in our country, people move from place to place without ever becoming involved in their town. In Munster, however, our citizens have made our town into more than just a place to live...they have made it into a community.

High Quality, Low Cost
For all the benefits of moving to Munster, one of the biggest advantages is the affordability of houses here. Now, and in the future, owning a home costs less in Munster than in any other comparable town in the Chicago area. And not only will your home cost less, you'll save thousands of dollars in property taxes over the life of your home versus what you'd pay in Illinois.

Executives, professionals and well-educated managers comprise more than half of the community's population, raising the median income to in excess of $41,000 and ranking Munster first among Indiana's towns and cities of 2,500 or more residents.

Much is demanded by the people of Munster, and much is attained. A case in point is Munster's sparkling new Center for the Performing Arts. This splendid, multi-million-dollar structure is a focal point for cultural activities and home of the N.W. Indiana Symphony Orchestra and the Northern Indiana Arts Association.

The community's splendid parks system and its proximity to Indiana Dunes State Park and National Lakeshore provide wide ranging opportunities for recreation and outdoor family fun. Near Chicago, as well, Munster residents have full and easy access to the broad scope of Chicago's entertainment, cultural attractions and professional sporting events.

All this adds up to one thing: Munster is magnificent.
