Stout Field Home for Rent

Stout Field, located in Southwest Indianapolis, is a neighborhood characterized by its early 20th-century cottages and bungalows. Named after a former airport, the area is now situated near the Indianapolis International Airport, about two miles west. The community is predominantly industrial, with 65% of the area zoned for such use, contributing to its blue-collar atmosphere. Despite the bustling environment with interstate highways, a freight railroad line, and a National Guard base nearby, the residential sections maintain a relatively quiet charm with large old-growth trees and homes surrounded by chain-link and wooden picket fences. The neighborhood features more than half a dozen churches of various Christian denominations, fostering a strong sense of community. Stout Field’s residential areas form a T-shape, with West Washington Street hosting low-slung retail stores, fast-food restaurants, car dealerships, and a Kroger supermarket. Local dining options include the Checkered Flag Tavern, known for its racing theme, and Gil Tacos, a popular spot for Mexican cuisine. Recreational opportunities within the neighborhood are limited, with Stout Field Park offering a small open field, playground, and basketball court. However, nearby warehouse spaces provide unique activities such as EPIC Climbing and Fitness and Q Skate Park. The neighborhood is largely car-dependent, with easy access to I-74/465 and I-70, making downtown Indianapolis about seven miles away. Public transportation is available via IndyGo buses along Washington Street and Holt Road. The Indianapolis International Airport, located nearby, offers direct flights to various destinations across the country.
