Relocating to Warsaw area (Fort Wayne, South Bend: high school, college, camper)

[Tristy85]

Hello my family and are looking into relocating from PA to Warsaw area. My b/f visited about 2 weeks ago and loved it but I didn't get to so I was wondering about the area. I was also curious about Rochester if any could help me out that would be great.

Warsaw is close to Fort Wayne. Lots of lakes, a private college, a rather large high school. It's a conservative town and has had many new big box stores open up recently. It's on US 30, so you could get to South Bend or even Chicago relatively easily.

Rochester ... smalller than Warsaw, has a nice lake and again, conservative. The nearest big towns would be Kokomo and Fort Wayne. It's on US31, so Indy is easy to get to and once the Kokomo bypass gets built ... domergurl will be a happy camper.

The Warsaw community's jobs have not been affected as badly since the biggest employers are health related. Our area (Elkhart) has been hammered due to the RV industry meltdown, but I would still be sure one of you at least has a job to come to before relocating. I used to live in Fort Wayne and I wouldn't say that either Rochester or Warsaw are close to the Fort, but guess its all a matter of perspective domer I agree with her though, both still small towns and conservative!

The area is the most mellow place I have lived. I love it. Small town Indiana. Close enough to the big towns to go big a coupla times a year. Then I go back to the country livin'. Comeon over for Supper, OK, what's that in your Smoker, I smelled it as soon as I turned on our road, don't try and hide it?... It's just Baby Back Ribs with homemade BBQ Sauce. Coupla Beers, Good Neighbors with Good Grilles, Tryin to Outcook your Neighbor, I love It. Livin on the Edge,(of town). Smell that? Yahhh, somebodys cookin' what I like. I'm gonna take these beers and go check it, yah a new friend...
