Valparaiso Walk is located at the intersection of Silhavy Rd. and LaPorte Ave. It is within the Chicago Metropolitan Statistical Area. The property is in a major trade area, servicing over 100,000 people. Valparaiso University's student population also enhances the area's consumer purchasing power.
