Home of Purdue! Come for a Big Ten event, a degree, or a delicious meal. Stay for the community.

About us

On the scenic Wabash River banks in north-central Indiana, West Lafayette offers the culture usually associated with a Big Ten university town combined with a reasonable, Midwest-style cost-of-living. Due to Purdue University’s presence, a large percentage of our population has global ties. This diverse, well-educated workforce has led to a local economy rich in culture and variety. You’ll be entertained by university-related events — whether you’re watching a Broadway-style show or a stadium-pounding football game. But if you’re not satisfied standing on the sidelines, you’re welcome to play a round of 18-holes on a championship course or participate in a period reenactment festival. You can have the best of all worlds in serene but sophisticated West Lafayette. Big-city fun is just an hour away in Indianapolis or two hours up to Chicago. But come home to the perks of small-town living, alive and well through top schools, a low crime rate, and little or no commute times.
