University Farm is a friendly, well-established neighborhood in West Lafayette, Indiana. Named for nearby Purdue University, which owned the land on which the neighborhood stands, University Farm has grown from a single lot in 1981 to nearly 580 homes today. Residents enjoy quiet tree-lined streets, two beautiful parks and ready access to shopping, bus routes and the Wabash Trail system.
The University Farm Neighborhood Association (UFNA) seeks to develop and enact programs to enhance the integrity, beauty and quality of life in the University Farm neighborhood. We always welcome input and participation, so please feel free to contact one of our officers or board members with your questions, or attend an UFNA meeting.
