Schererville

Schererville is a fast-growing town in Lake County, Indiana, located about 30 miles southeast of downtown Chicago. Known as “The Crossroads of the Nation” for its historic rail and highway intersections, Schererville today blends suburban comfort with excellent connectivity. Residents are drawn to its strong public schools in the Lake Central School Corporation, convenient shopping and dining corridors, and an overall family-friendly atmosphere.

The town offers a range of parks and recreation facilities, including Redar Park, the Schererville Golf Course, and the Oak Ridge Prairie trail system. Locals enjoy seasonal events like the Celebrate Schererville Festival and the summer farmers market. For commuters, access to I-80/94, US-41, and the expanding West Lake Corridor rail line makes it easy to reach Chicago and other parts of Northwest Indiana. Despite its growth, Schererville retains a friendly small-town feel with modern conveniences.

Housing in Schererville includes a healthy mix of single-family homes, newer subdivisions, and some townhomes or condos—many with spacious yards and updated features. Architectural styles range from traditional ranch and split-level homes to newer two-story and craftsman-inspired designs. The real estate market has remained active, with steady demand driven by affordability compared to Illinois suburbs and increasing interest from Chicago-area buyers seeking more space and lower taxes.
