You might be familiar with HGTV.com; they’re an extension of the much-loved television channel, and they put out some great articles. However, there’s one that caught our attention recently — they published a gallery of the 50 best small towns to visit in the United States, and wouldn’t you know it, a little place in Indiana made the list! Warsaw is perfect for a small-town vacation in Indiana! Check it out:

Warsaw is a city in northern Indiana, and it serves as the county seat of Kosciusko County.

It has all the luxuries of a big city without losing its small-town charm; its population is under 15,000, and it might sound cliche, but it's really one of those places where it feels like everyone knows everyone, including you, should you choose to live here.
We certainly wouldn't blame you if you did; Warsaw has a hard-sounding name, but it's a hub of nature, entertainment, and more where citizens thrive.

Most folks don't think of Indiana when they think of the perfect small-town vacation destination, but they ought to - Warsaw is one of those little hidden gems that once you know it's there you'll find yourself drawn back to it time and time again. It's not surprising that the population is rising, albeit slowly; it's a wonderful place to live, shop, dine, and explore the outdoors.
Warsaw is home to Center Lake, a beautiful, sparkling blue slice of paradise that serves as a beloved hotspot for families, kayakers, fishermen, and more.

It's a wonderfully idyllic little spot in the Midwest that really seems to define that perfect Midwestern vibe; everyone here is wonderfully friendly, the town is gorgeous, and the lake is tons of fun (not to mention just as beautiful as the rest of the town).

Is Warsaw Indiana a good place to live?  

Nestled in beautiful Kosciusko County is Warsaw, one of the cutest small towns in Indiana that you’re sure to fall in love with immediately. Now, we might be a little biased, but we think Warsaw is one of the best places in Indiana to live; it has a strong sense of community, and the folks here are kind. It’s a wonderful place for families, and the schools are great. Plus, it’s one of those historic towns in Indiana you might miss if you drive through it and blink.  

What is Warsaw Indiana known for?  

Warsaw Indiana is, believe it or not, known for its title as the “Orthopedic Capital of the World” thanks to having been the home of the first-ever orthopedic device manufacturer: the DePuy Manufacturing Company. It was founded in 1895, and it didn’t take long for competitors to pop up – at least two of which set up camp in Warsaw as well. There are plenty of fun things to do in Warsaw, and it’s been named one of the 50 best small towns to visit in the United States as well. Another thing Warsaw Indiana is known for is Center Lake, which just so happens to be one of our all-time favorite lakes in Indiana.  

What other small towns in Indiana are worth moving to? 

There are so many small towns in Indiana that it might be impossible to settle on just one to check out (which is totally where one of our Indiana small towns road trips might come in handy), but we do have a few favorites we love to mention. We’re major fans of small towns like Beverly Shores, which is one of the most beautiful dark-sky cities in Indiana, and the town of Carmel is one of the friendliest towns in Indiana. The town of Franklin is said to have the best main street in Indiana, and places like Winona Lake are excellent options for folks who enjoy shopping and dining. There’s also Angola, Wabash, Corydon, and Nashville – all of which are definitely worth a visit.
