The Valparaiso Community
When
searching for properties in Valparaiso, I can assist you in finding the
perfect home. As a native of Valparaiso, and as a very experienced and
accessible agent, my clients have enjoyed working with me. According to
the National Association of REALTORS, over 92% of people begin their
search online. No matter where you start, be sure to interview your
prospective agent for community knowledge, real estate experience, and
accessibility via text, phone, and email. I enjoy being my client's
personal guide and representative, by sending you the latest listings
and introducing you to the community, no matter which location you
choose. La Porte County and Lake Counties are other places where I have
handled properties.
As the county seat of Porter County, Valparaiso (referred to as Valpo by locals) has a diverse economy, higher education options, a new Porter Hospital and
excellent medical care, and a vibrant downtown. You'll find
restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and culture in this renewed
downtown. The new
amphitheater and it's grounds host
community gatherings, music festivals and events, farmer's markets and
more. The city even has plans to add ice skating and expand the park
further with concessions. Neighboring
Valparaiso University, Ivy Tech, and Purdue University North Central offer higher education, and the school districts of Valparaiso, Washington Township, Boone Grove, Morgan, Wheeler or Union Township, Andrean (Catholic), and Duneland (Chesterton) all serve Valparaiso residents.
Whether
looking for single family homes, townhomes, or condos in the Valparaiso
area, the supply will vary depending upon the time of year and the
location you prefer. Patio, townhome and condo clusters are not only
found in the older southside subdivisions such as Heritage Valley, but
also in the newer communities such as
Timberbridge, Keystone, and Pepper Creek.
Other neighborhoods include Forest Park, Harrison West, Beauty Creek,
Cherry Hill, Tuscany, Sylvan Manor, and many more. Single family homes
are found throughout the city, and prices generally start in the upper
$80s and range toward $1M, with median house price in Valparaiso
historically settling in around $175,000. New growth and development is
happening on the fringes of the city of course, with the most energy
near the
Highway 49, US 30, IN 2 and IN 130 (Lincolnway) corridors, trending toward the employment bases around the industry and Chicago to the north and west.
