Crown Point

Crown Point

If you could design the perfect historic downtown it might look a bit like the seat of Lake County in Northwest Indiana.The preserved heart of this city is set around a palatial courthouse dating to 1880, and the surrounding old brick storefronts contain family-run shops for knick-knacks and one of a kind gifts.This historic town of 27,000 residents is famous for housing the courthouse from which bank robber John Dillinger escaped. Just one block away is Crown Point’s venue for community events, hosting a farmers’ market, weekly summer concerts, festivals and an NHL-size rink in winter. Considered to be the “hub of Lake County,” Crown Point Indiana is located just 40 miles southeast of Chicago’s Loop. Crown Point real estate offers new homes, single-family family homes and even luxury homes. Condos for empty nesters are sample along with apartment rentals. It has a vibrant downtown scene coupled with the feel of suburban living and close proximity to one of America’s largest urban areas.
