About
Westside
Westside, located between the Grand Calumet River and U.S. Route 12, is a residential and industrial Gary neighborhood with lake-breeze streetscapes and rail-lined edges. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Broadway and 5th Avenue, where corner storefronts, takeout counters, and service shops set a working-day rhythm. Brick two-flats and modest frame houses sit beside wide arterials that still read like a classic Midwest grid. Buffington Harbor and nearby lakefront access points give the area a horizon of water and steel. The Gary Aquatorium and Marquette Park Pavilion add a civic, lakeside backdrop for walks and events. Indiana University Northwest anchors the nearby daily flow with classrooms, galleries, and campus greens.
