Avilla, a rural Midwestern town near Fort Wayne
The Town of Avilla is a growing rural community, with a population of about 2,600, nearly 25 miles north of Fort Wayne. “We have a couple of restaurants, gas stations and bars. It’s everything you’d think of in a tiny Midwestern town. Everybody leans on everybody when they need to, or even without asking,” says Nate Hicks, a local Realtor with Real Broker who has over eight years of experience. “We’re still close enough to Fort Wayne for the city stuff, and we’ve got great parks.”

Century-old homes near Main Street and newer homes in subdivisions
Traditional, two-story homes and bungalows were built near Main Street in Avilla’s center between the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries. These older homes share a similar price range of about $110,000 to $200,000. “Home prices are drastically lower than in Fort Wayne. They just opened new subdivisions, so new construction prices have driven that up,” Hicks says. “At the same time, the appreciation of the properties in Avilla has gone up considerably.”
Many ranch-style homes and New Traditionals are in new subdivisions. Ranch-style home prices range from around $140,000 to $350,000, some come equipped with attached garages. New Traditionals vary from one to two stories and are priced between nearly $180,000 and $470,000. “All the utilities are municipal-owned, so if we’ve got a random power outage, I know that [my friend] is out there fixing it right now. I can look out my front door and ask, ‘You want a drink? It’s hot out,’” Hicks says.
The CAP Index Crime Score in Avilla is 2 out of 10; lower than the national average of 4.
