Ross Homes for Rent

Ross, a neighborhood in Gary, Indiana, is situated about 35 miles southeast of downtown Chicago, making it a viable option for commuters. The proximity to Interstate 65 facilitates access to other northwest Indiana suburbs, and the South Shore commuter train line provides additional connectivity to downtown Chicago, with future plans to expand rail service to nearby towns. The Griffith-Merrillville Airport, recently acquired by Gary/Chicago International Airport, is expected to see improvements and expansion. Local features include Wildrose Brewing, known for its unique beer flavors and casual dining options, and Asparagus, an Asian fusion Thai restaurant ideal for special occasions. Big Daddy’s Barbecue offers a more casual dining experience. For shopping, ALDI and Family Dollar are conveniently located near the intersection of Ridge Road and Colfax Street. Housing in Ross ranges from Minimal Traditional, ranch-style, and split-level homes built between the 1920s and 1970s, to more recent constructions with larger lots and up to 4,000 square feet of living space. The neighborhood is characterized by its greenery and larger lots, though it lacks an official park. However, the Oak Savannah Bike Trail, which runs through the southern end of the neighborhood, provides a paved path for biking, walking, and jogging. Public schools in the area are part of the Lake Ridge New Tech Schools District, with mixed ratings, while Gary Lighthouse Charter School offers a private K-12 education option.
