A residential neighborhood on Elkhart's industrial east side
Middlebury South is a primarily industrial area south of Middlebury Road on Elkhart’s east side. In fact, the neighborhood had almost no residential presence until the early 1990s, when new developments sprung up to take advantage of their proximity to more than a dozen major Elkhart employers, including instrument maker Conn Selmer, valve manufacturer NIBCO and various companies in the RV industry. “It’s ideally situated for a seamless work-life balance,” says Lucinda Lowe, Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services. “Its proximity to the business complex ensures a short commute.” Notably, the neighborhood is also zoned for the highly regarded Concord Community School District.
Middlebury South has quick access to downtown Elkhart and plenty of nearby amenities.
Studebaker Park has river access that residents and their pets love in Middlebury South.

Mexican seafood, plentiful pizza and an Andy Griffith-inspired diner
"Residents also benefit from being close to a variety of dining options, enhancing convenience and lifestyle,” Lowe says. Mariscos Don Miguel features seafood dishes popular in the Mexican Pacific Coast state of Nayarit. A pair of pizzerias, Antonio’s and Vesuvio, are just west of the neighborhood. Mayberry Cafe isn’t just a name meant to evoke smalltown vibes. The Andy Griffith Show-themed diner, which serves breakfast and lunch, stands out unmistakably in the neighborhood’s industrial sector. There is a Dollar General less than a mile east of the neighborhood, and Martin’s Super Market near downtown is the closest supermarket.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
