Anchored by Chesterton and Porter, 46304 blends beach-town ease with suburban calm along the Indiana Dunes. Residents enjoy quick access to Indiana Dunes National Park and State Park for hiking, biking, birding, and summer beach days, plus scenic Coffee Creek Watershed Preserve and Dogwood Park’s trails and dog area. Downtown Chesterton offers boutiques, galleries, and the beloved Saturday European Market, while local flavor runs from Octave Grill and Lucrezia Café to Red Cup Café; everyday needs are covered by Strack & Van Til, Aldi, and the Indian Boundary Road shopping corridor. Fitness and community hubs include the Duneland Family YMCA and Thomas Centennial Park’s events.
