Living
in the Area
With its cost of living 21% below the national average, quiet neighborhoods and a population hovering at
260,000, Fort Wayne, Indiana, is an excellent place to buy a house, start a career, launch a business, and raise children. As a midsize
metropolitan area in the heart of the Midwest, residents in Fort Wayne have access to the amenities one would expect to find in a large
metropolis, like excellent entertainment options and a thriving restaurant and arts scene. Residents also encounter quirky special events,
such as the yearly Busker Fest devoted to street performers and the annual bed race that takes place during the Three Rivers
Festival.
Fort Wayne has numerous family-friendly attractions, including Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo and Science Central.
Additionally, kids can stretch their legs in the city’s dozens of public parks. Running and cycling events are popular with residents of
all fitness levels, with the largest being the Fort4Fitness running and cycling events. Meanwhile, Fort Wayne has a robust sports
tradition. There are three championship-winning minor league teams: the Komets (hockey), the TinCaps (baseball), and the Mad Ants
(basketball). Within driving distance to several large cities such as Indianapolis, Chicago, and Cincinnati, OH, the area offers a small
community feel with big city life in reach.
