A residential community walkable to Ball State University
Anthony-Northside is a residential community just north of Ball State University, or BSU, a 20,000-student public institution in Muncie, Indiana. Ball State is the city’s largest employer and many move to this neighborhood to be a short walk or bike ride away from work. “It’s more faculty and staff than students,” says Amber Greene, the communications director for the city. Anthony-Northside has an active population committed to bettering their community. Their neighborhood association meets bi-monthly to organize efforts like the Anthony Living Quality Maps, a collaborative project with BSU to measure the neighborhood’s quality of life. “It’s awesome to have a university in the community,” Greene says. “The city hosts tons of events on campus. They’re a partner in pretty much everything we do.”
Muncie Indiana Transit System, or MITS, makes frequent stops at BSU and offers transportation to Anthony Northside residents.
