Map of Northwest Indiana...easy Chicago Commute.

If your looking for affordable bedroom towns and work in Chicago, you would be wise to consider Northwest Indiana. Get more house for the money and great schools. Lots of new residential and commercial developments in booming towns.
Lots of major expressways feed into Chicago from NW Indiana. The South Shore Train makes the Chicago Commute much easier with train stops throughout Northern Indiana along Lake Michigan.
