I went to High School in Hammond, IN even though I lived on Chicago's South Side, Bishop Noll Institute had
a great reputation for being a College Prep School and was only 20 minutes by Car from Home !
Since Hammond is so Close to The Illinois State Line (Border City) many people choose to live there even if
they work in Chicago-land. Commute is feasible by Major Toll roads/Expressways or South Shore Train !
The City of Hammond has a
College Bound Scholarship Program for Hammond
residents in which children of Homeowners can apply for
money that the city grants to qualified students that
aides with their children's tuition costs!
There are satellite Campuses in Hammond for Collegiate education - I've attended the conveniently located
Purdue Calumet in the past for classes ! 
Our Favorite place for Jumbo Fried Shrimp in all of
NW Indiana is Bob's Shrimp. It was around way back
when I was in High School & still offers HUGE delicious
shrimp to go by the pound!
(Bob's Shrimp @ 4748 Calumet Ave. Phone 937-1041)
Affordable Housing still exists in Hammond & nearby Hessville as well !

Jeff & Grace, Your area sounds very nice and the fact that it's very convenient to Chicago. The shrimp sounds wonderful as well!
Hello Carole and thanks for stopping by! Yes we get the convenience of big city culture & arts & fine dining nearby and the lower cost of living just 40 minutes away from the Chicago's Downtown LOOP :)
Okay...the Jumbo Fried Shrimp caught my eye...I'm there.... nice presentation.
