About Westville

Westville is a quiet small town in northwest Indiana, tucked between La Porte, Michigan City, and Valparaiso. Home to around 5,000 residents, it offers a relaxed, rural pace of life with open farmland right outside your front door. The town grew up in the mid-1800s as a bustling railroad hub, and you can still see hints of that historic heritage in its older downtown buildings and classic midwestern homes.

Daily life revolves around a tight-knit community, with local K-12 schools, cozy neighborhood diners, and annual traditions like the popular fall pumpkin festival. Having a Purdue University Northwest campus right in town brings college athletics, cultural events, and continuing education close to home. Sitting along US 421, Westville also makes it easy to commute to nearby cities or spend summer weekends exploring the beaches and trails at Indiana Dunes National Park.
