In it's over 100th year since incorporation, the Town of Munster boasts a wealth of cultural and public amenities enjoyed by its 24,000 residents. This community has grown gradually and totals approximately 9,000 homes. Conveniently located on the south shores of Lake Michigan the distinctive community of Munster offers the families and businesses that call it home all the advantages of living in the big city with a wide selection of shopping, cultural events, and outstanding accessibility - just 26 miles south of Chicago - but none of the headaches and disadvantages that typically come with life in larger towns.
One of the central points of pride for the town is its consistently top-ranked education system. The elementary schools have received state recognition for meeting the highest standards of attendance, parent participation, and student performance. Munster High School has been named a four-star school by the Indiana Department of Education. Students on this level benefit from over 130 courses offered and a selection of advanced placement courses, which give students a chance to earn college credit.
Attractions located within Munster's borders are the Center for Visual and Performing Arts, Edward P. Robinson Community Veterans Memorial, and the community's latest addition - Centennial Park. The area is also home to excellent public and private schools, local hospitals, and numerous churches.
Munster is a great place to live, play and work. The Town is first-class in education, culture, shopping, health care, transportation, parks and recreation. Prove it for yourself; come and see us.
