Located in Marion County
Beech Grove is a small, independent community within the borders of Indianapolis . This “excluded city” has its own police and public works departments. Yet, despite being just 6 miles from the heart of Indiana’s capital city, Beech Grove is anchored by a traditional Main Street that helps it retain a hometown vibe.
Bungalow-style designs stand out among Beech Grove’s traditional architecture, which also includes Colonials and homes with Tudor-style elements. Ranch-style homes in a variety of sizes on spacious lots, and contemporary homes with driveways and attached garages can also be found. Homes front streets shaded by mature trees, which add curb appeal. Prices typically range from under $100,000 to around $400,000.
Beech Grove’s median sales price of $200,000 is more than 20 percent lower than Indianapolis as a whole, and it compares favorably to surrounding communities. It’s higher than the neighborhood of Near Southeast , but lower than the neighborhood of Fountain Square and the city of Greenwood . “The affordability is probably one of the best things about it,” says Brian Hopson , a Realtor with F.C. Tucker Company South who has sold several homes in Beech Grove.
“It’s small town, basically, but there’s a lot going on,” Hopson says. “Main Street was recently revitalized with shops and restaurants and some evening life for people.” Between the police department and City Hall, the thoroughfare is lined with local businesses that include popular destinations such as:
Main Street is also the place to be for year-round community events. Highlights include:
The Beech Grove City Schools district is made up of two elementary schools, an intermediate school, a middle school and a high school. Beech Grove High School offers AP classes and a dual enrollment program. The Hornets basketball team won the 3A state title in 2022.
Indiana’s open enrollment program allows students to apply for transfers to schools outside of their geographic zones. Out-of-district transfers typically depend on available space and can be revoked for attendance and behavior issues.
Bolton Park is the center of recreational activity. A creek runs through this picturesque green space, which has athletic courts and fields and children’s playscapes. The Franciscan Trail is a 2-mile greenway that starts at the park. The Hornet Greenway is an ongoing project designed to connect Hornet Elementary School and Beech Grove High School with the Hornet Park Community Center. Beech Grove Bowl is a longstanding attraction that offers fun for the whole family. It is open 24 hours on the weekends.
An Amtrak maintenance facility and Alro Steel are prominent local employers. For those who need to commute outside of the community, downtown Indianapolis is a quick trip via Interstate 65. Indianapolis International Airport and the national logistics hub next door are about a 15-mile drive via nearby I-465. Closer to home, residents can take the bus to Indianapolis points of interest.
