Why Live in Aetna

Aetna, a neighborhood less than 3 miles from central Gary, has evolved from its origins as a factory town into a residential area with single-family homes, parks and a smattering of restaurants. Located just south of Lake Michigan, Aetna is about an hour's drive from downtown Chicago. The neighborhood features a mix of bi-levels, brick ranch-style homes and Cape Cods, primarily on quarter-acre lots. Home prices are notably lower than in nearby areas like Miller Beach and Lake Station, with options ranging from manufactured homes and fixer-uppers to larger three-bedroom houses. Dining options in Aetna include local favorites like Great Lakes Café, known for its breakfast and lunch menu, and 18th Street Brewery, offering house-brewed IPAs and pale ales. Chain restaurants such as Popeye’s, McDonald's and Denny’s are also available. For groceries and daily needs, residents frequent Family Dollar and Miller K Market on Melton Road. Aetna's walkability is enhanced by its community parks, including Glen Ryan Park with its playground and basketball courts, and June LaBroi Park, featuring a playground and a miniature statue of liberty. For outdoor activities, residents visit Lake Street Beach for swimming and walking along Lake Michigan. The neighborhood is conveniently located near Interstates 90 and 65, providing easy access to central Gary and Chicago.
