Poplar Home for Sale

Poplar, a central Fort Wayne neighborhood with a suburban feel, is known for its mural-adorned historic buildings and vibrant business scene. Located just over a mile south of downtown, this neighborhood is currently on the receiving end of significant city investment, including infrastructure updates, beautification projects and public art installations. Poplar's streets are lined with early 1900s cottages, Craftsman homes, and Victorians, ranging in condition from fixer-uppers to turn-key options. The neighborhood has a diverse culinary scene, with restaurants ranging from Bahn Mi Pho to Shigs in Pit Barbeque. Residents often shop at George's International Market or the nearby Southgate Shopping Center. Poplar is also close to Electric Works, a mixed-use workspace and café. Community engagement is strong, with a Facebook page highlighting environmental and beautification efforts. The Packard 2030 community development plan promises further investment in local parks, sidewalks and other infrastructure. Local green spaces include Miner Playground and McCulloch Park, the latter of which hosts a summer farmers' market and other events. Fort Wayne International Airport is less than 10 miles away. Fairfield Elementary, Kekionga Middle and South Side High School serve the neighborhood. Several private school options are also available nearby.
