[[Black Oak (Gary)|Black Oak]] is located on the far southwest side of Gary, in the vicinity of the Burr Street exit to the [[Borman Expressway]]. It was annexed in the 1970s. Prior to that, Black Oak was an unincorporated area informally associated with [[Hammond, Indiana|Hammond]], and the area has Hammond telephone numbers. After three referendums, the community voters approved annexation, having been persuaded by Mayor Hatcher that they would benefit more from services provided by the city than from those provided by the county. In the 21st century, it is the only majority-white neighborhood in Gary.

[[Glen Park (Gary)|Glen Park]] is located on Gary's far south side and is made up mostly of mid-twentieth-century houses. Glen Park is divided from the remainder of the city by the Borman Expressway. The northern portion of Glen Park is home to Gary's Gleason Park Golf Course and the campus of [[Indiana University Northwest]]. The far western portion of Glen Park is home to the Village Shopping Center. Glen Park includes the 37th Avenue corridor at Broadway.

[[Midtown (Gary)|Midtown]] is located south of Downtown Gary, along Broadway. In the pre-1960s days of ''de facto'' segregation, this developed historically as a "black" neighborhood as African Americans came to Gary from the rural South in the [[Great Migration (African American)|Great Migration]] to seek jobs in the industrial economy.
