Glen Park

Glen Park

What it’s like to live in Glen Park

Historic diversity shapes Glen Park (also called University Park), Gary's most populous neighborhood with deep roots predating the city itself by decades. Originally platted in 1894, this predominantly African-American community (86%) on Gary's south side offers affordable housing options with convenient access to Chicago via nearby rail connections. Though some areas show varied maintenance levels reflecting economic challenges affecting broader Gary, the strong community organizations and institutional anchors create stability unusual for transitional urban districts. The neighborhood's relatively flat topography and grid layout make navigation straightforward for newcomers adjusting to the area.
