La Porte, IN, United States

Capital City

Population 22,471? You'd better enjoy small-town life, because La Porte is about as far from cosmopolitan as it gets. The city has its charms, like the historic downtown district and extensive park system, but the bureaucracy can be a persistent headache. And the climate - brace yourself for long, snowy winters that feel even more isolating in this rural Indiana outpost. Still, if you value a slower pace and a tight-knit community, La Porte might be your kind of place.
