Buckingham
Well-kept homes and condos on neat yards
Buckingham’s residential streets wind around the neighborhood lake. Well-maintained yards back up to its waters, while most other homes are separated from its view. Three-bedroom ranch-styles from the 1980s appear throughout the community. Some of these are condominiums, though they are built to appear more like a single-family home. These sell for between $185,000 and $350,000. Homes of 4,000 or 5,000 square feet typically sell for $500,000 to $550,000.Two parks and a lake to enjoy
Lake access is open to residents, though fishing, skating, swimming and boating are not allowed. A dock with benches allows for views of the lake, adjacent to community tennis courts and a small field suitable for soccer, football or other less-active pursuits. “The convenience of the location usually drives people to live here,” says Walker. “Residents have easy access to many of the amenities in the area, as well as the amenities inside the community.” Bristers Spring Park is about a quarter-mile north, where kids spend time on the playground. Kreager Park is also nearby, with 218 acres of recreation space that includes a fitness area, soccer fields and baseball fields. Children of all abilities can use Kreager Park’s boundless playground, the first inclusive spot of its kind in the city and state. The park’s loop trail is ideal for a low-impact walk.A bite to eat at the Georgetown Square shopping center
At its farthest point, the neighborhood is about a mile and a half from shopping and dining. Wrigley Field Bar & Grill is the local watering hole, offering pub grub and drink specials. Other spots such as Ziffle’s Rib Bar and Yum Thai are just across the parking lot. Folks can stock up on groceries at the shopping center’s Kroger.Attending class in Buckingham
Students can attend Haley Elementary, which gets a C-plus from Niche. They then move to Blackhawk Middle, which gets a B grade. Snider High has a championship-winning football team and also earns a B overall from Niche.Bus routes on State Boulevard
Residents can use East State Boulevard to reach Coliseum Boulevard and get around the Fort Wayne area. Downtown Fort Wayne is a 5-mile, 15-minute drive away. Residents can also hop on the Citilink bus, which runs downtown for a 50-minute ride to work. The Fort Wayne International Airport is a 30-minute drive away for out-of-town trips.PFAs in Fort Wayne's environment
In July 2024, the city of Fort Wayne filed a federal lawsuit claiming more than 20 companies polluted city wastewater with PFAs, so-called "forever chemicals,'' which remain in the environment. In claiming that water testing costs the city $10,000 annually, the city maintained that its drinking water wasn't affected but potential sources downstream from the city could have been.
