Mid 20th century ranch style homes
The tidy streets of Centerhurst are lined with 1960s and 70s ranch houses, ramblers, split-levels and colonials. Homes tend to list between $140,000 and $215,000, a significant drop from the greater Fort Wayne median list price of $260,000. Prices, however, correlate with the size and condition of the homes. A well-tended but somewhat dated 1,000-square-foot ranch house with a single-car garage and three bedrooms might sell for $150,000. On the other hand, a similarly sized home with modern updates might sell for $40,000 to $50,000 more, and a house with 1,500 to 1,700 square feet and moderate renovations will likely cross the $200,000 mark.

Nearby Indiana nature and activity
At Schoaff Park, 1 mile to the west, Centerhurst residents boat on the St. Joseph River, get in a round at the golf course or disc golf course, hike on trails and play on a large playground with rock walls and a splash pad. Or they go 2 miles south to hike amongst sugar maple, beech, oak and hickory trees on the mile-long trail at Mengerson Nature Reserve. Little sluggers are found at the St. Joe Little League field just a few blocks away, and golfers tee up at Riverbend Golf Course 2 miles west. Located on the banks of the river, this public course weaves 18 holes across gently rolling woodlands and offers a bar and grill for post-play refreshments. For indoor and outdoor fun, the Jackson R. Lehman Family YMCA provides classes, sports and community events for Centerhurst residents directly across St. Joe Center Road, which is on the neighborhood's southern edge.

Philharmonics and Komets
Events and activities are always happening in the greater Fort Wayne area, and as Yoder, a lifelong resident, says, "We're fortunate to have so many things to do so close by." Yoder herself is a fan of classical concerts at the Fort Wayne Philharmonic Center 3 miles south of Centerhurst. For others, it's all about hockey. Since 1952, locals have faithfully cheered on Fort Wayne's professional hockey team, the Komets and attending games at Allen County War Memorial Coliseum, less than 5 miles away, is more than a pastime for many locals. It's a revered tradition.Access to Fort Wayne planes, trains, and automobiles

The neighborhood is within 5 miles of I-69 and Indiana State Road 930, offering easy access to Downtown Fort Wayne, nearby health care and other major freeways.

Also across St. Joe Center Road, Kroger Marketplace offers a walkable spot to get groceries, fill prescriptions and grab a Starbucks. If folks don't feel like cooking, Salsa Grille Northeast serves Mexican favorites in a colorful but cozy dining room. And when friends need a catch-up — or a caffeine pick-me-up — they head to BonBon's Coffee. For everything retail, Target awaits 2 miles southeast, and Northcrest Shopping Center, 4 miles southwest, offers TJ Maxx, Kohl's, Best Buy and Old Navy.
