Markland Heights House for Sale

Markland Heights in Kokomo is an established neighborhood with historical significance and a mix of housing styles, primarily one-story Craftsman homes under 1,000 square feet, along with some shotguns, bungalows, ranches, and two-story houses. Many homes are energy-efficient but may require repairs, presenting opportunities for fixer-uppers. The neighborhood is experiencing a resurgence as Kokomo's population grows, partly due to new battery manufacturing plants opening soon. Markland Heights is conveniently located near major employers like Chrysler and GM factories, and the upcoming Stellantis-Samsung battery factories. Public transit is accessible via the Kokomo City Trolley Blue Line, which travels towards downtown on weekdays. The neighborhood features several shopping and dining options, including Markland Mall, Kokomo Town Center, and Boulevard Crossing, with stores like Kohl’s, Old Navy, and T.J. Maxx. For groceries, residents have nearby Meijer and Walmart Supercenter. Cutler Park, located in the northern part of the neighborhood, offers a playground, basketball and tennis courts, and youth baseball fields. Indoor activities can be found at Gravity Trampoline Park in Markland Mall, which includes climbing walls, laser tag, and trampoline-based activities. Markland Heights is part of the Kokomo-Center Township School Corporation, with students attending Elwood Haynes Elementary and Maple Crest Middle School. The area is about a mile southeast of Kokomo Municipal Stadium, home to the Kokomo Jackrabbits baseball team and a seasonal ice-skating rink. While the neighborhood is safer than the national average, tornadoes are a regular concern, with significant damage from a 2016 tornado still remembered.
