Recommend a town to live in.

[seldon14]

Going to be moving to Indiana very soon. Looking to move somewhere between South Bend, Lafayette, and Fort Wayne. Preferably in the country, or at least a more rural town, rather than a city. Close to a good range is always great. Looking to rent, preferably a house rather than an apartment. Any suggestions? Anyone got a place for rent?

Thanks.

Mars Hill. How many teeth do you have?

Good call.

Warsaw is a nice area. Lots of lakes, a fish and wildlife area with a range.

Don't move to Lafayette if you don't like high winds from Oct to June, terrible roads, and bad factory smells that pollute the city. They do have a lot of gun shops and a few ranges though. Even if you live outside of the city you will still smell it if you live anywhere but west of it. And you will deal with high winds everywhere around it.


Other than that, its an ok area. lol

I actually really like South Bend from the time I've spent there. Granted, I've never LIVED there...

I like Lafayette, too. I'm from just south of there (next county down)

Monticello is an option, as are Rochester & Plymouth. Towards the Ft. you've got Bluffton & Decatur - the two that I'm most familiar with. Most of my inlaws live here. Then there's Huntington & Columbia City.

There are HUNDREDS of places to live, OP.

What is important to you besides a range? Shopping? Restaurants? Are you retired or will you need an easy commute to a job?

Monon. You could eat at the Whistlestop every day.

Truth hurts.

The quicker I get out of here the better.

I'm pretty sure White County is a Kentucky outpost.

I work in Lafayette but I don't live there.

I think Lafayette is a great town. I just can't stand the Staley stench. I'd choose Lafayette over Logansport, Monticello, Frankfort, Kokomo, or Indy any day of the week.

Winamac is a nice little town. So small it's 30 miles to the nearest Walmart in any compass direction.
Winamac Fish and Wildlife range is close, the Tippecanoe river is great for Smallmouth, Pike, and Rockbass.

OP, are you moving for a job, family, retirement?

There's a little town called Gary in the north part of the state. Rent is probably pretty cheap, it's close to a huge lake, and plenty of opportunity to go shooting if you are in the right part of town.

Churubusco is just a little north west of Ft. Wayne and in Whitley Co. really though anywhere in Whitley Co. would be a good place to live.

Bonus would be that you would have Tomlinson's gun shop in your town then!

I have heard South Bend is nice.

Bremen. Nice quiet town about 20 minutes from Mishawaka/South Bend or Plymouth.
