You can make your house a home, but you have to choose the community you live in. After you see what St. Joseph County has to offer, we think you'll see why we've become a destination for those looking for a community with opportunity.
It's unusual for a growing, metropolitan area to retain a friendly, neighborhood feel the way that St. Joseph County has. From the historic downtown of New Carlisle to the quiet, beautiful housing in Granger, the diverse components of St. Joseph County are the perfect complement to the ever-growing cultural center that is South Bend/Mishawaka.
A quarter million strong, the residents of St. Joseph County enjoy the quick, direct routes to Chicago and Indianapolis. They enjoy having South Bend Regional Airport, the only airport in the country that includes onsite air, train and bus service, right in their backyard. Its handy access to surrounding areas is one thing that sets St. Joseph County apart. But it is what's already here that makes people come to stay.
The East Race Waterway is the tie that binds South Bend's pedestrian-friendly downtown. Known for being the first artificial white-water course in North America, the East Race regularly hosts national kayaking and whitewater slalom competitions. The sidewalks that line much of the Race are a perfect place for walks on a summer day.
The 11 local colleges and universities, when coupled with a strong job economy, make for an environment of learning and career advancement.
The tradition of Notre Dame athletics, the pageantry of the College Football Hall of Fame and the excitement of the South Bend Silver Hawks minor-league baseball team make South Bend/Mishawaka a destination for those with a sweet-tooth for sports.
Do you want shopping? St. Joseph County has everything you'd ever need. Indian's second largest regional retail center is located in Mishawaka along the Grape Road corridor, featuring University Park Mall.
Do you want culture? The beautifully restored Morris Performing Arts Center has been a local landmark since 1922. Whether you're in the mood for a Broadway Theater League presentation, a concert by the South Bend Orchestra or a celebrity performer on tour, The Morris has all you're looking for. Match that with the plethora of Jazz and bluegrass festivals, ethnic fairs and other outdoor summer entertainment, and St. Joseph County has it all.
We're glad that you've taken interest in our community. Come see for yourself why St. Joseph County has become a center for travel, business, leisure and living.
