Why Live in Huntington

Huntington, IN, known as "The Lime City" due to its historic limestone deposits, is a small city with a population of around 17,000. It serves as the Huntington County seat and is home to Huntington University, the Quayle Vice Presidential Learning Center, and several neighborhoods listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The city features a mix of 19th-century architectural styles, including Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Colonial Revival, Italianate, and Queen Anne, though these historic homes are rarely on the market. More modern, custom-built homes are found in neighborhoods to the north and south of town. Huntington is about 13 miles from major employers in Fort Wayne, such as GM's Fort Wayne Assembly Plant and Vera Bradley’s corporate headquarters, and 22 miles from Fort Wayne International Airport. Local attractions include the Sunken Gardens in Memorial Park, the Huntington Drive-In, and two nearby Indiana DNR reservoirs, J.E. Roush Lake and Salamonie Lake, which offer hiking and camping opportunities. Dining options range from downtown favorites like Nick’s Kitchen, known for its pork tenderloin, to national chains along the U.S. Route 24 Bypass. Huntington's crime rates are less than half the national average, contributing to its appeal.
