Bloomington is home to a diverse community; some residents stay for a few years while attending Indiana University and some have been here for generations.
We want to explore the past, present and future of Bloomington with you with City Limits.
Our community is changing, from closing businesses to traffic and road construction to affordable housing, and we see the impact of these changes all around us.
You might wonder: How much does it cost to live in Bloomington compared to the rest of Indiana? How much property does IU own within city limits? Are apartments in Bloomington at capacity?
