New home growth and top schools highlight the appeal of Avon
Avon is a large, conveniently located suburb about 12 miles west of downtown Indianapolis. Like many growing communities in the expanding metro area, Avon is characterized by new home construction. However, it offers a wide variety of other housing options. In addition to the location, growth has been driven by one of the state’s top school districts and access to modern amenities.

New home communities add to an eclectic mix of residential settings
Several homebuilders are involved in the development of Avon’s newest communities, which offer a variety of model homes in walkable subdivisions. “They are selling them out as quickly as they can build them,” says Susan Webb, owner of Homes and Homesites in Avon and a longtime resident. These communities typically feature recreational amenities such as pools, ponds, athletic courts and trails, and they add a modern element to a town that is defined by its neighborhoods. The newest communities include Manors at Avon by Fischer Homes and Whispering Pines by Pulte Homes. Established options include:
Stratford of Avon, whose homes fittingly grace streets with Shakespearean names
Beechwood Farms, known for custom-built homes in a wooded setting and an active HOA
Woodcreek Farms, a partially gated community with large custom homes on spacious lots
The Settlement, known as a family-friendly development near amenities on U.S. Route 40
The Parks at Prestwick, a golf course community that offers exclusive country club living
Single-family homes sell from the mid-$100,000s to the mid-$900,000s, with the price depending on the home’s age, size and location. Some condos and townhouses are available, ranging in price from the mid-$100,000s to the low $300,000s. HOA fees range from around $20 to about $250. Ranch-style homes and acreage properties in rural settings are among the community’s non-HOA offerings. Avon’s median sales price of $370,000 is about 10 percent higher than Brownsburg to the north, and it is on par with Plainfield to the south.

Marching band is a major draw for a highly rated school district
The highly rated Avon Community School Corporation has 14 schools. The primary institutions include: eight elementaries, three middle schools and one traditional high school. There’s also an early learning center for preschool students and an alternative high school. Students can apply for transfers to schools outside of their geographic zones through Indiana’s open enrollment program. Out-of-district transfers typically depend on available space and can be revoked for attendance and behavior issues.
Avon High School enjoys a well-earned reputation for success in the performing arts, as well as academics and athletics. The Avon Marching Black & Gold band has won numerous championships on the state and national level. “People will actually move to Avon for their kids to be in the band,” says Webb, who has lived in the community for nearly 30 years. In addition, the dance team recently won a state title, the speech team has won multiple state titles and athletes across an array of sports have been state champions. Webb says the district is also known for its commitment to children with special needs. The special education department operates in all schools from elementary through high school.

Quick access to the airport and Plainfield's warehouse facilities
Residents don’t necessarily have to commute to Indianapolis for work. The CSX Avon Yard is an important regional railroad facility on the southern edge of the community. And Plainfield is home to a national transportation and logistics hub that includes Amazon, UPS and FedEx facilities. The hub is adjacent to Indianapolis International Airport along Interstate 70. “I enjoy Avon because I can get to the airport from my house within 15-20 minutes, and I take back roads … We’re in a great location. We don’t have traffic like Carmel.” Commuters can take U.S. Route 36 directly into Indianapolis, although the drive during rush hour can take more than 45 minutes at times. Residents can also take IndyGo buses into the capital city.
Local parks are filled with amenities
“We have wonderful parks in Washington Township,” Webb says. The lake is the featured attraction at Blue Heron Park, a hub of community activity that also offers paved trails, a playground and a disc golf course. Just across U.S. 36 is Washington Township Park, which offers similar amenities and a splash pad. The park is also home to the Avon Haunted Bridge, a historical landmark. “On the road to get to my house, you have to drive under it,” Webb says, “and when we have the grandkids in the cars, they always yell, ‘Honk!’” Murphy Aquatic Park is a seasonal favorite, and the Hendricks Regional Health YMCA is a popular destination for indoor recreation.

Opa! and Charbonos are popular local dining favorites
Shopping and dining options are concentrated along U.S. 36, which runs through the community and basically splits it in half. Opa! is a Greek eatery that is a premier destination among the corridor’s many restaurants. Charbonos, an upscale eatery, and Frost Bite, a throwback ice cream shop, are other local favorites. Costco, Target and Meijer are convenient shopping options along U.S. 36.
