Christiana Neighborhood Association

Who is IN the Christiana Neighborhood?
The yellow boundary line of the map below in Elkhart, Indiana, shows the official designation of the Christiana Neighborhood Association (CNA), as determined by a meeting of mutually agreeable neighbors on April 22, 2024. The CNA is officially recognized by the City of Elkhart as an established neighborhood association. The new CNA picks up the banner from the previous designation and expands to the north to now include Wellfield Botanic Gardens and the residences to Simonton Street and the far east extension of Baldwin Street as the new north border. 

Our neighborhood boasts wonderful assets with 5 parks (one just for dogs!), a historic monument, 8 ponds, a raceway, a major river and creek, an ADA kayak launch, 2 interpretive visitor centers, 2 house museums, attractive public gardens, an outdoor performance pavilion, 2 playgrounds, public tennis courts, 4 churches, a senior residence center, industrial manufacturing, a school, a corporate headquarters, a supermarket, a home improvement center, a healthcare facility, a restaurant, 2 cafe's, 2 auto shops, 2 salons, private businesses and most importantly YOU (369 residences in total!).  All of this beauty and energy is tied together from one end to the other with our neighborhood's most identifiable feature, Christiana Creek! 

If you or your business is located inside this boundary line, we invite you to become involved!

May 17, 8-10am NE Quad
June 21, 8-10am SE Quad
