Long Beach pairs Lake Michigan’s wide‑angle horizons with an easygoing, residential feel. Tree‑lined lanes wind past classic midcentury cottages and contemporary lake homes, and locals head to the numbered beach “Stops” for morning swims, paddleboarding, and sunset strolls. Golfers gravitate to Long Beach Country Club, while the Town of Long Beach keeps community life humming with parks, beach access points, and seasonal programming.
Weekend plans come together quickly here. You’re minutes from Michigan City, home to the lakefront Washington Park Zoo and a lively arts and dining scene, and a short drive from the sweeping dunes, oak savannas, and trail network of Indiana Dunes National Park. The broader backdrop of La Porte County adds farm markets, festivals, and trailheads for four‑season recreation.
Families value the area’s educational options through Michigan City Area Schools, known for STEM initiatives, fine arts, and robust athletics. Commuters appreciate access to the South Shore Line, connecting the lakeshore to downtown Chicago for workdays and cultural outings, while local marinas and beaches make it easy to live a toes‑in‑the‑sand lifestyle close to home.
Whether you’re upsizing for lake views or right‑sizing near the water, Long Beach offers a rare combination of shorefront serenity and real‑world convenience.
