Munster is perhaps best known as the city on the ridge, due to its placement in relation to the shoreline of Lake Michigan, known as Ridge Road.

The city of Munster is located about 30 miles from Chicago, and has a population of just under 24,000 residents, according to the 2010 United States Census. In addition to its location on Lake Michigan, Munster has three lakes within the city limits, which provides a great deal of lake view property and public parks with fantastic views. Residents of Munster don't have to drive the 30 miles into Chicago to get a taste of big city culture either, as Munster has several artistic, cultural and historical attractions within close proximity of each other.

Moving to Munster

Make sure to plan ahead before moving to Munster, as there is fairly consistent demand for house purchases and house rentals in Munster. The price of homes in the city has remained fairly stable over the past few years, and is expected to maintain these levels of demand for the immediate future. Despite the demand, it is still possible to find a studio apartment for rent or a 1 bedroom apartment as long as you give yourself a few weeks or months before you plan to move. Before starting your apartment search, make sure to learn about the different and distinct neighborhoods in Munster, so you can pick the one that is best suited for your specific situation.

Neighborhoods in Munster

The city of Munster is broken up into four main neighborhoods, each with their own set of advantages. The neighborhoods are as follows:

Downtown Munster: Downtown Munster is the commercial hub of the city. Surprisingly, this neighborhood has some of the best values for incoming residents to Munster. If you are looking to be in the heart of the city you live in without spending an obscene amount of money, Downtown Munster might be the perfect option.

Columbia Avenue and Ridge Road: This neighborhood occupies the northernmost part of the city, and has been growing in popularity in recent years. The westernmost parts of this neighborhood offer close proximity to Downtown Munster without being right in the heart of the action.

45th Avenue and White Oak Avenue: This neighborhood is right in the middle of town, and is one of the most established parts of Munster.

Maynard: Maynard is in the southernmost part of Munster, and is the location of many of the long-established streets in the city. If you are looking for a 3 bedroom house or bigger, this is the first place you should look.

Keeping Busy in Munster

Munster has its own vibrant cultural life, even though Chicago is less than an hour drive away. The city sponsors a Public Art and Sculpture Program, as well as an annual Munster Music Festival, which has been growing in popularity in recent years. Munster has also recently opened the Munster Town Center, which is a commercial and cultural center in the downtown area which has significantly revitalized the city since its launch in late 2011.
