Muncie: Known as "Middletown USA", Muncie is located 50 miles northeast of Indianapolis in Delaware County. The city’s history and growth have been chronicled over the past 70 years in three separate studies. Muncie entered the national consciousness in 1929 through the writing of two sociologists, Robert S. and Helen M. Lynd, who described the city and its people in the classic study, "Middletown". In 1935, the Lynds followed up with a second study: "Middletown in Transition". In 1977, the University of Virginia conducted a further study of Muncie, called "Middletown III", to determine what changes may have occurred since the Lynds' second study. As a result of these three studies, Muncie gained its identity as the typical American city. Muncie is also home to Ball State University, Garfield creator Jim Davis and several other authors and artists. Home prices in Muncie are very affordable. An older model three-bedroom, two-bath single-family home can be found for as low as $20,000. Newer model houses with up to 2,500 square feet range from $100,000 to $500,000 for estate homes with large lots. Much of the cultural activity centers around Ball State University. Opened in 1918 as the Eastern Division of the Indiana State Normal School in Terre Haute, Ball State experienced dramatic growth during the 1960s and 1970s, reaching a current enrollment of approximately 18,000 students.
