Community on the cusp of revitalization
Brunswick is a community on the cusp of revitalization. Situated just south of the Indiana Toll Road and Gary/Chicago International Airport, the small, conveniently located neighborhood is packed with early- to mid-20th-century homes that buyers are starting to snatch up and make their own. “Brunswick is one of the more desirable neighborhoods in Gary for both investors and owners,” says Kristin Trzoski, a Realtor with Advanced Real Estate. “The houses are a little more affordable than other neighborhoods, and the taxes are much lower than even nearby Hammond.”
Brunswick has a significant amount of noise from the nearby airport.
Brunswick has a number of homes that have been renovated by investors.

Homes ripe for renovation in Brunswick
The neighborhood has a grid-style layout, and the houses are neatly lined along the streets. Two- to three-bedroom bungalows and Cape Cods dominate the area and appeal to first-time buyers. “It’s an up-and-coming area where people are starting to do a lot of rehabs, so now is the time to get in before prices go up,” says Miya Armstrong, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker. Homes needing a complete remodel start at $19,000. Larger four-bedroom options and properties with modern updates range from $146,000 to $199,000. Yards are small and uniform, with most tree cover along the back end of the homes. Small walkways lead to front stoops and are connected to the neighborhood’s sidewalks. Though railroad tracks are running through Brunswick, and the airport sits to the north, Armstrong says, “It still feels very quiet. Even if there is some noise, you get used to it after a while.”
Brunswick has close proximity to Gary Airport.

Comfort food at Kelly's Soul Kitchen
For quick errand runs, there is a Family Dollar along West 5th Avenue, which runs through the heart of the neighborhood. Finding more extensive grocery options will require a 4-mile drive southwest to Save A Lot. Though the neighborhood is primarily residential, a few restaurants are dotted along its main thoroughfare. Kelly’s Soul Kitchen is a casual spot serving homestyle fried catfish and greens, while SteelCity CheeseSteaks is a go-to for Philly cheesesteaks and burgers. Closer to downtown Gary, about 4 miles east, is Great Lakes Café. Many of the steelworkers at Gary Works stop by the old-school diner in the morning for omelets and biscuits and gravy. Plans are in the works for a fresh start in the city, thanks to partnerships with area businesses like the Hard Rock Casino. The entertainment venue is one of the city’s biggest attractions and employers. $3 million was donated by the casino to revitalize the downtown district, which has seen storefronts stand empty for years.
Brunswick residents can get great meals at Kelly's Soul Kitchen.
