Crashpads near Grissom ARB

Neighborhoods our Grissom ARB hosts are in

From Kokomo it is a straight 15-20 minute shot north on US 31 to the Hoosier Boulevard exit and the main gate; from Peru it is about 10 minutes south on US 31 or Business 31, and Logansport is roughly 30 minutes west via IN-25 and US 24.

• Bunker Hill / Grissom AFB neighborhood

  ~5 min

  The former base housing tract just east of US 31 — modest ranches and duplexes on quiet streets, cheapest rents in the area, Maconaquah schools, and a five-minute drive to the gate.

• Peru

  ~10 min

  Circus City: a small county seat with older homes on tree-lined streets, the Wabash River, a working downtown, and Peru Community Schools; rents are low, but rental inventory is limited so start looking early.

• Kokomo (north side / Northwestern)

  ~15-20 min

  Where most Grissom families actually live — newer subdivisions off US 31 and IN-931, Northwestern and Western school corporations, the hospitals, Target, Meijer, and a real restaurant row on Sycamore and 17th.

• Logansport

  ~30 min

  A Wabash-and-Eel-River town with a walkable downtown, cheap Victorian houses, and Logansport Community Schools; a good pick if you also need a shorter drive toward Lafayette or Chicago.
