Smaller houses with ideal location
Most Hayden houses are one-story structures, whether ranch-style or bungalows, though a handful of split-level and two-story homes are sprinkled throughout the neighborhood. Neighborhood homes are an average of 1,400 square feet, which is around 500 feet below the national average. However, these houses are built near a pair of key walkable assets — Mary Daly Elementary School and Hayden Park. Recent sales in Hayden range from $100,000 to $215,000.

Hayden Park perfect for a picnic
In addition to being the home of the water tower, Hayden Park is the neighborhood’s signature feature. “It has a spacious green lawn and a charming gazebo – perfect for a picnic,” Lowe says. More amenities are available at McNaughton Park, which is about 1.5 miles southeast of Hayden. McNaughton Park features a boat launch, accessible playground, splash park, tennis courts, softball field, and indoor pavilion.

Mary Daly Elementary, West Side Middle in walking distance

C-rated West Side Middle School is just a block to the west. High schoolers begin at Elkhart Freshman Division before moving on to Elkhart High School, which earns a B-minus rating.

Events highlight Elkhart's musical legacy
Elkhart’s legacy as a top manufacturer of brass instruments is on prominent display.

There is also a monthly summer concert series at the band shell featuring musicians across a range of genres. Downtown, the Elkhart Jazz Festival draws nationally renowned artists to town each July.

Nappanee Street Bridge connects to south side
Nappanee Street Bridge crosses the nearby Saint Joseph River, connecting Hayden to Elkhart’s south side. Public transportation is available here with both the Interurban Trolley Green and Yellow Lines stopping in the neighborhood. Hayden is also convenient to Elkhart General Hospital, which is just a mile outside the neighborhood.Antiques, burgers and omelets all on the menu
On the neighborhood’s northern boundary, Simeri’s Beardsley Street Tavern is a neighborhood pub known for burgers and live music. Golden Egg Pancake House on Nappanee Street is a popular breakfast diner known for its biscuits and gravy as well as an extensive omelet selection. Hayden is also convenient to a row of antique and vintage shops off West Beardsley Avenue. “They add a touch of charm and unique shopping experiences,” Lowe says. Save A Lot, which is just across the Nappanee Street Bridge from the neighborhood, is the nearest grocery store.

Trucks rumble through Hayden streets
Living in Hayden means preparing to see large trucks. Recycling trucks filter in and out of the recycling center in the northern half of the neighborhood. There is also a concrete yard at the corner of Nappanee Street and Beardsley Avenue, so mixer trucks also roll past the neighborhood throughout the week.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
