Every review below is from a verified Airbnb stay in one of these four apartments.

Why visit downtown Valparaiso?

Our apartments put you in the middle of one of Northwest Indiana's most walkable downtowns — and something is happening here almost every week of the year.

The Valparaiso Popcorn Festival

Orville Redenbacher's hometown throws the nation's first popcorn parade every year on the first Saturday after Labor Day — the 47th annual festival lands September 12, 2026, with 300+ vendors, the Popcorn Panic 5-mile run, and live music at Central Park Plaza. Our units are inside the festival footprint — step outside and you're in it.

Events all year at Central Park Plaza

The Valpo Market runs Tuesdays & Saturdays in season, plus summer outdoor movies and amphitheater concerts, SAND + STEEL Art Fest in June, Valpo Brewfest in September, and Winter Fest, the tree lighting, and ice skating come November. All of it one block from your door.

Indiana Dunes & Valparaiso University

Indiana Dunes National Park and Lake Michigan's beaches are a 25-minute drive north. Valparaiso University is 1.5 miles away — ideal for move-in weekends, family visits, and graduation, with free parking included.

All four are in downtown Valparaiso, Indiana — two in the 1920s Eldorado building on Lincolnway and two in the 1920 Saran building, both in the central business district, one block from Central Park Plaza.

Is there parking?

Yes — free onsite parking at both buildings, each with a level-2 EV charger.

Can we stay for the Popcorn Festival?

Absolutely — festival weekend books up fast. Our buildings sit inside the festival footprint, so you can walk to the parade, the vendors, and the Main Stage in under five minutes.

How close are the Indiana Dunes?

Indiana Dunes National Park and the Lake Michigan shore are about a 25-minute drive — close enough for a beach day with dinner back downtown.
