Mier sits at the meeting of State Roads 13 and 18, a small crossroads community with open views and quick access to everyday essentials. Commutes are simple: you’re minutes from Marion and Gas City, and within an easy drive of Kokomo. Outdoor-minded residents appreciate nearby Mississinewa Lake for boating, fishing, and fall foliage, and the region’s signature rail-trail, the Cardinal Greenway, for long runs or family rides. The slower pace and ample elbow room in this corner of Grant County make it easy to decompress after the workday.
Schools are a strong local anchor. Mier is served by the Oak Hill United School Corporation, known for solid academics, hands-on STEM opportunities, and competitive athletics. Higher education opportunities are close by at Taylor University, which adds lectures, arts events, and collegiate sports to the calendar.
Weekends bring simple pleasures: picnics and seasonal displays at Marion’s parks and recreation department and the butterfly-filled Gardens of Matter Park, quiet reading at the Converse-Jackson Township Public Library, and dependable care at Marion Health. With practical commute routes, accessible outdoor recreation, and community-centered schools, Mier offers an easygoing base for first-time buyers, growing households, and downsizers alike. When you’re ready to move, Agent Pronto can quickly connect you with a top local real estate professional—whether you’re buying or selling.
