Hemlock is a small crossroads community along State Road 26, minutes from Kokomo and set amid the farms and woodlots of Howard County. Residents appreciate the unhurried pace—think starry nights, wide lots, and friendly waves—while quick access to U.S. 31 makes commuting and errands simple. Local roads connect quickly to employers, medical care, and everyday shopping, yet the landscape stays quiet and open. Need permits or property info? The county government’s digital portals keep things easy for homeowners and builders alike.
For families, education and enrichment are close at hand. Taylor Community Schools serves southern areas, while Western School Corporation in nearby Russiaville is another well-regarded option. Athletics, fine arts, and career-readiness programs give students plenty of paths to thrive. Book lovers tap the Kokomo-Howard County Public Library for programs and maker spaces. When it’s time to get outside, paddle or fish along the Wildcat Creek water trail, a regional favorite.
Weekends bring history and festivals: tour the ornate Seiberling Mansion and Howard County Museum, then catch summer traditions at the Howard County 4-H Fair in Greentown. Learners of all ages can upskill at Ivy Tech Community College Kokomo, a short drive away. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or relocating, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top local agent to buy with confidence or sell for a great result.
