About Selma

Selma is a quiet, close-knit town sitting just a few miles east of Muncie along State Road 32. With around 750 residents, it offers a peaceful small-town atmosphere surrounded by open farmland while keeping city conveniences within a ten-minute drive. It is an easy commute for anyone working in Muncie or heading to Ball State University, giving residents a relaxed home base close to regional jobs, dining, and healthcare.

Originally founded as a railroad stop in the 1850s, Selma has evolved into a comfortable bedroom community with a strong neighborhood feel.

It is an appealing option for anyone looking for quiet streets, friendly neighbors, and a slower pace of life.
