Living close to The Golden Dome
Bordering the University of Notre Dame, the St. Joseph River and a growing downtown area, Northeast South Bend offers a place to live for many different lifestyles. Working professionals, young families, long-time residents and university members coexist in the large area where the university is only a short drive or walk away. While not everyone in the neighborhood is an affiliate of Notre Dame, either as a student or employee, its presence affects most. "As you get closer to campus, it almost becomes like waterfront property," says John Brady, a broker at Weichert Realtors who has lived in South Bend for most of his life. "People will pay a premium to have The Golden Dome within sight." After all, the establishment of Notre Dame contributed to South Bend's growth from 1,000 residents in the mid-1800s to the large population of over 100,000 today.
Northeast South Bend is just south of the University of Notre Dame’s campus.
Notre Dame is a pillar to the community of Northeast South Bend.

Luxury condos bringing up the median price of homes
For over 100 years, single-family homes dominated the neighborhood. Bungalows and Colonial Revivals from the 1920s sit alongside ranch-style homes and split-levels from the 1950s and '60s. Some of the newest houses in the area have attached garages, but most have detached garages built years after the house, accessible via alleyways. The smaller homes range between $90,000 and $210,000, while larger homes in good condition, despite their age, often sell between $200,000 and $485,000. A few farmhouse-inspired new traditional houses are available in the $500,000 to $900,000 range, but it's the condos in the area that fetch the highest price. Average prices in Northeast South Bend are higher than the South Bend Metro area's average, partly due to the surge of new-build townhouses and condos over the past 15 years. The units begin at around $375,000 and top at $1.3 million. Despite mainly being consolidated in the northern end of the neighborhood, near the campus, fewer students live in them and in the nearby apartment buildings than one may think. "Notre Dame built a lot of dorms in the last ten years. They're doing their best to keep students on campus," Brady says. "As a matter of fact, students can't live off campus until their senior year, so there aren't a lot of student-occupied rentals nearby."

Events and Notre Dame football games on campus
Notre Dame was founded in 1842 as a religious educational institution and opened in 1843 with only 12 students during its first year. At that time, tuition was $100 per year for students who lived on campus and $20 per year for day students. Now, the university has over 13,000 students, and tuition is $65,000 per year. Known mostly for its impressive research curriculum, religious pride and Fighting Irish football team, the university is also a community pillar and a meeting space for South Bend residents. In addition to the football games in the center of campus, events open to the public occur nearly every day. Book discussions and lectures happen in the Hesburgh Library, and concerts are at Jenkins Nanovic Hall.

Running around the perimeter of Notre Dame
A scattering of trees at the long, narrow Coquillard Park provides shade around the playground and half basketball court. Tennis courts are at the eastern edge of the park, one of the city's oldest, while a pavilion with picnic benches and a charcoal grill is at the center. As close as they are to the Notre Dame campus, residents often walk around the walking trails and small green spaces near the academic buildings, like Irish Green and God Quad. Runners can challenge themselves by doing the Notre Dame Campus Perimeter Run, which is longer than 2 miles and passes many of the campus' main attractions. Niles Ave Dog Park by Matthews is west, along the St. Joseph River. The park has fenced-in sections for dogs of different sizes and obstacles for those working on tricks.
