Bainbridge is strategically located on
US 36, east of US 231, midway between I-70 housing opportunities,
a top notch local school district, and a strong rural work
ethic.
Ten miles south, Greencastle, the county seat of Putnam
County, is a college community of over 10,000 people
in west central Indiana. As the home of DePauw University, the community enjoys a wide range of cultural and educational opportunities. Putnam County, and its smaller communities such as Bainbridge, are only a short distance from the Indianapolis International Airport and 50 minutes from downtown Indianapolis. The
county's strategic location also allows it to take advantage
of the resources of Purdue University, Indiana University,
Rose Hulman Institute of Technology, and Indiana University
- Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI).
In 1991, Greencastle was designated an "All-American City" by the National Civic League. More recently, Greencastle has been in the book The 100 Best Small Towns in America, by Norm Crampton. Greencastle ranks as one of the 100 best because of its increase in young adult population, low crime rate (2nd best of the 100 towns), growth, and other factors.
With its attractive rural
location, easy access to Indianapolis, and DePauw University,
Putnam County has enjoyed growth over the last several years.
Population has increased from 30,315 to over 35,600 in 2000.
As local employment opportunities have increased, local leaders
have been encouraging investment in housing at a variety of
price points.
