The Ambridge-Mann neighborhood in the northwest Indiana city of Gary is about 30 miles southeast of Chicago. It’s home to the only hospital in the city. “A long time ago, people moved to Gary to work at the steel mills,” says Tammey Hale, a real estate broker with Ms. Hale Realty, LLC with about 20 years of experience. “Only two of those mills are remaining. People move here now because they can buy a home with cash, and the property taxes are cheaper than in Illinois.” Gary Works is one of the steel mills that’s still open, employing over 2,000 people. On the CAP Crime Score Index, the neighborhood is a 5 overall, but there are some high scores for violent crime.
Ambridge Mann has quick access to Interstate 90 and the Calumet river for boat launching.
Ambridge Mann features a variety of smaller single family homes.
