About Town of Pines

Town of Pines is a quiet, tucked-away community in Porter County, sitting right against the edge of Indiana Dunes National Park. True to its name, the area is shaded by tall pines and sandy ridges, giving neighborhoods a peaceful, secluded feel just minutes from the shores of Lake Michigan. Everyday conveniences are close at hand as well, with Michigan City only about four miles to the east for shopping, dining, and South Shore Line rail access.

For anyone who loves the outdoors, the location is hard to beat, with miles of dune trails, birding spots, and beaches right in your backyard. Families are served by the Michigan City Area Schools, with Pine Elementary and Barker Middle School nearby. It is a relaxed, unassuming corner of northwest Indiana where residents enjoy generous wooded lots, starry night skies, and a slower pace of living near the lake.
