A Blend of Homes

This quiet, rural community consists of a diverse blend of homes. Eighteenth-century and early 19th-century homes are set side by side for at least a half-dozen blocks, and many of these homes are regarded as historic treasures. Other older neighborhoods in the city are filled with Cape Cods, bungalows, American Foursquare and contemporary ranch-style homes.

Newer homes can be found in elegant subdivisions. Stonehedge offers custom homes in an exclusive area of rolling hills just north of the city; Timber Ridge and Whisper Isle are newly developed neighborhoods that are planned around the natural settings in which they are set. LaPorte’s seniors can choose from new retirement communities such as Oakwood Manor, Brentwood and Settlers House.
