DO NOT move to Indiana!

These are the biggest misconceptions that people have about moving to Indiana. I've lived in Indiana for 30+ years and I can help you avoid some of the mistakes people make. You should know this stuff before you even start looking at real estate. Moving to Indiana is a HUGE undertaking for most people, and I'm here to help.

The biggest mistakes people make when moving to Indiana:
1. Cost of Living - It's lower than the national average, but with a caveat.
2. Weather - If you don't like all 4 seasons then Indiana is not for you.
3. Politics - It can be tough as a Democrat in a mostly Republican state.
4. Healthy Living - Hoosiers love fast and fried food, but the tides are beginning to change.

Thinking about moving to Indiana? If so, what would you like to know?

I've lived in Indiana my whole life. I love it

[mscommerce]

Ain't America grand! I immigrated to America 45 years ago from the other side of the world and I love everything about it. What a remarkable place! What a remarkable people! ♥

Why would you want to live near Indianapolis? Northwest Indiana is a 25 minute drive to downtown Chicago. It’s fantastic. We are all diehard Bears, Bulls, Cubs, Sox, Blackhawks fans. Northwest Indiana has a much lower cost of living. Everyone from Illinois comes here to buy everything. If you have a business near the state-line, you will get a huge customer base from Illinois residents. Property taxes are way lower, gas is way cheaper, alcohol, food, etc. You can also carry concealed personal protection in Indiana, which is illegal in Illinois. It’s diverse here, friendly, overall very nice. Lake Michigan, the shoreline and great beaches are a very short drive away and wonderful during the summer. Eastern and Down-state Indiana is a whole different world compared to Northwest Indiana.

I live in California, and when I visited Indiana, it was like coming home to America. I went to Fort Wayne, and the streets were clean, and there were no homeless people. In fact, there were no people loitering because they were all at work. Democrats destroyed California, and now they are working on Colorado and Arizona. Besides the nice weather in California, there isn't much else. I can think of many reasons to move to Indiana.

[DORSIAKILL]

You named all the reasons why I want to move to Munster Indiana.

Cost of living here is perfectly fine. I live 50 minutes from indy. Unless you like traffic don't move close to the capital. Rural areas are the best for families. Weather is good here. Guaranteed she's in the city and not strong enough to last elsewhere

I lived in Indiana for 40 years, and after 20 years of living in Phoenix, I am moving back to the Indy area for many reasons. When I waived my pros and cons of making the move, there was only one con of going back to Indiana - the winter; however, the 100+ degrees for 5 months makes it an even trade IMO.

first of all I apologize in advance for not watching the whole video I got bored, however I had to make this statement in the comments before I go. Just about anywhere in the world your going to find pretty bad reasons to or not to live there. What ever bad there is here in Indiana for me, the good way out weigh the bad by an insane amount. Weather everywhere has goods and bad, but for me it would be stupid to leave because the politics are pretty tame compared to other areas, and in the right areas here in Indiana the people are very friendly and respectful and you will never had any problems. Quite literally the only people I have ever actually had problems with where I live is my family. I have experienced absolutory zero discrimination issues being one of the common types of people that could experience that problem. I am actually pretty terrified of the idea of living anywhere else in the USA outside of my city I currently live in. Especially with lot of the issues currently going on today. The north central areas of Indiana has some of the most amazing people!

Great video with a lot of truth in it. I've lived in MA, WA, FL, NM, IL, IA, and IN. They all have good and bad qualities. Being a blue dot here in Trumpiana, I keep my mouth shut and realize my vote means nothing here, but the people don't talk politics and are 99% super friendly and salt of the earth. We're all Americans, after all. I love the peace and quiet of rural life, but not the constant maintenance costs of an older home. Thanks for sharing your excellent info.

[blooddaizy]

Thank you, This is a great video. Food diversity really is bad in Fort Wayne. Exactly what we needed before moving but had to for a job. TX was much more political so appreciate the toned down politics here and weather is much better than TX but agree that it’s cold much longer than we expected. Good overview and Thank you!

I left sunny San Diego for obvious reasons and moved to a cold part of Arizona. Now I'm old and alone and considering moving outside of Evansville, only to be in reasonable distance to family in the Chicago metro, but I'm still trying to avoid the cold. My relatives refuse to move somewhere warm, but it's no fun spending holidays alone.

[noahroad]

I just wanted to tell you that you are really good at what you do.. I am not moving anywhere, but this video just came up in my video feed and I decided to watch it. It was a joy to watch. Thanks.

My personal tips
1: be careful
2: don’t be dumb
3: be brave

[TheRyan]

A state with all four seasons and filled with meat loving republicans…. Are you sure this isn’t a video about why you should move to Indiana?

[dougreed]

Well I was surprised I moved from CA and live in Indiana. I noticed in in an modern shopping entertainment type of Mall in Avon had many empty store that was surprised by this very popular area. The economy has been rough on every place in the country Indiana isn't immune to this.

[mascot]

As someone who lives on Indiana, I think people should take thos seriously. For real, our cost of living is skyrocketing and id like it to stop...

[LeBrayTheGoat]

I love Indiana because it’s my home state & lived here all my life but i absolutely hate the 4 seasons & winter mostly, if it could be just summer & fall here year round then I’d love it.
