Living

Orange County is located in South Central Indiana. We take pride in our Hoosier hospitality and warm inviting culture. The landscape is scenic with many things to offer both through services and recreation, you can find it here. Pair that with a low cost of living and easy access to major markets and you have it all.

There is no other place in the world that offers everything Orange County and South Central Indiana Region does.

A dynamic, thriving community of businesses, anchored by major employers and Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, provides more economic stability and opportunity than less diverse ecosystems.

The beautiful rolling hills of the rural landscape provide exceptional recreational opportunities and quiet, safe, small-town living, yet big-city amenities are within an hour’s drive for most people in Orange County.
