New homes near Morocco, Indiana
The first town in Newton County, on US 41 where SR 114 heads east to I-65. North Newton schools have their offices in town, and Kankakee Sands and Willow Slough are close by. Most new building here is on country lots, so the well, septic and electric provider matter as much as the house.
