Forested streets curve through northeast Fort Wayne
Glenwood Park is a northeastern Fort Wayne neighborhood known for its large, mid-century houses on forested streets in a convenient part of town. “The northeast corridor is pretty popular because it’s well-located,” says Michael Roy, a Realtor with Schrader Real Estate and Auction and Fort Wayne local. “It’s close to Purdue University at Fort Wayne, and you can get out to the interstate or shopping at Glenbrook Square quickly from here.”

Glenwood Park’s housing market is fast-paced, but not impenetrable
Ranch-style bungalows from the 1960s, split-levels from the '70s and Colonial Revival-style homes from the '80s line Glenwood Park’s streets. The spacious, manicured lots often include gardens shaded by towering oak trees. Front lawns here extend all the way to the street, and there are no sidewalks. “It’s just a good, solid neighborhood with a combination of owner-occupied and some investment, rental-type properties,” says Roy. Listing prices range between $200,000 and $275,000, on par with the city’s median. “The housing market was really, really crazy here for the last three years, but it’s cooled off a lot recently,” says Roy, adding that homes in Glenwood Park sold quickly until around June 2023. “There’s still a shortage of inventory right now, so houses are still selling, but now they’re going under contract in a couple weeks or even a month instead of within six or eight hours the way they used to,” he says.
There are many ranch-style homes in Glenwood Park.

Locals sit beneath apple trees at nearby parks
For a breath of fresh air, residents can visit Johnny Appleseed Park, 2 miles west of home. Named for John Chapman, nicknamed “Johnny Appleseed,” the park is home to the American pioneer’s final resting place and officially joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Appleseed’s gravesite is marked by his headstone, surrounded by wrought-iron fencing. A plaque detailing the man’s story stands a short distance away under a shingled shelter. The wider park includes a campground and paved multiuse trails shaded by oak and apple trees. At the north end is the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum and Exposition Center. Closer to home, Lions Park offers nearly 15 acres of outdoor recreation, with a playground, tennis and basketball courts, a multiuse field dotted with climbing trees and a baseball diamond. During cold or rainy weather, locals practice their swing at Suite Spot, an indoor golf simulator center.
