Northwest Side

Portage Crossing residents enjoy the best of tranquil neighborhood life with the convenience of the city.  Historic houses, expansive lawns and mature trees contribute to this northwest neighborhood's grandiosity.

Near the place where explorer Robert de LaSalle found a portage from the St. Joseph River to the Kankakee River and beyond to the Mississippi, the Portage Crossing neighborhood remains quite a find for home buyers.

Portage Crossing's trees shade a wide range of architectural styles. Brick, stucco, stone and siding facades grace the homes. Beauty and convenience – just north of downtown South Bend and west of the University of Notre Dame – have long made it an attractive place to live. Increasing retail and restaurant development north on Portage at Cleveland, including the new German Township Branch of the St. Joseph County Public Library, is another plus. Prices range from absolute bargains to the $300,000 range.
