Apartments in downtown Gary, Indiana offer the convenience of living within minutes of everything Gary has to offer. Sandwiched between I-80 and I-90 for quick access to other major thoroughfares and the Gary-Chicago International Airport, downtown Gary offers a small-town, community feel amid the amenities you expect from a much larger locale.
Although 40 minutes from the lights and sounds of Chicago, Illinois, Gary natives find lots to do in their own backyard. Borman Park's tennis courts and basketball court provide a nice backdrop to get your fitness on, while the playground and nature walk are additional distractions. Lake Michigan is just minutes away for Gary residents who crave fun on the water.
Hungry natives know that Harold's Chicken Shack is the spot for catfish nuggets served with mushrooms or deep-fried okra. Sample the local flavor at Da Catch where the gyros and Philly chicken are neighborhood favorites, or if you like your nachos and hot wings served up with a little football, check out Spot Sports Bar & Grill before heading home.
