Where Glen Park is

Glen Park is Gary’s far south-central side. The City of Gary’s 2008 comprehensive plan draws it between Grant Street on the west, the Borman Expressway (I-80/94) on the north, and the Hobart and Merrillville lines and unincorporated Calumet Township to the south and east. The same plan counted it as Gary’s largest neighborhood by population.

Most of it is mid-twentieth-century single-family houses. Around the intersection of Broadway and Ridge Road sits the University Park area, home to the Indiana University Northwest and Ivy Tech Community College campuses, with Gleason Park and its golf course toward the north. Along the northern edge, the Little Calumet River floodplain leaves a band of wetland and open land.

Getting in and out is easy for a tow truck. The Borman has interchanges at Grant Street and Broadway, and I-65 meets 37th Avenue on the east side.

Pickup notes for Glen Park

Broadway and Ridge Road are busy. If the car is on either one, a driveway or side street is the easier place to load it. Tell us the nearest cross street.
Apartments and campus housing. There are apartments, senior housing and residence halls near Gleason Park and the IU Northwest campus. If your car is in a shared lot, give the manager a heads-up that a tow truck is coming.
Soft ground after rain. The 2008 plan notes that some blocks on the far west side have streets without full paving or curbs, and standing water after storms. If the car sits on grass or a soft shoulder, say so, and we’ll plan the pickup around it.
Backyard and garage cars. If the car has been parked out back for years, that’s fine. Tell us how the truck gets to it: a driveway along the house, a side gate, or a garage door.

What your car is worth in Glen Park

The same as anywhere in Gary: the car’s weight, the parts still on it, whether it runs, and your paperwork decide the offer. Your street doesn’t, and neither does how far back in the yard the car sits, since towing is free. If you want to know how the number is built before you ask for it, read what a junk car is worth in Gary. Selling something bigger or older? There are pages for older and high-mileage cars, junk trucks and vans and SUVs.

No title? We can still help. Selling a junk car in Indiana takes the title or a BMV certificate of authority. A lost title can be replaced with a $15 BMV duplicate; the certificate costs $4, and you apply for it with proof of ownership like your current registration. Cars under 15 model years old legally need one or the other. Tell us which papers you have, bill of sale and insurance card included, and we’ll confirm the route when we call.
