Hamilton
Suburban Neighborhood in Fort Wayne, Indiana
Allen County 46808
Houses come in a mix of styles dating back to 1900
Tree-shaded sidewalks border both sides of the streets in Hamilton. “There’s no one unifying style in Hamilton, but you won’t find many brand-new houses or empty lots for building,” says Andrea Gates, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker. The neighborhood’s oldest homes date back to the early 1900s, but older homes are often updated when new owners move in. “Now, there’s a mix of styles in the neighborhood, as older homes have been replaced and remodeled,” Owen says. Colonials, one-story cottages and Cape Cods are the most common styles, and living space ranges from around 700 to 2,000 square feet. Lot sizes vary from under a tenth of an acre to a third of an acre. Prices range between $75,000 and $250,000.

Residents can walk to Hamilton Park, a 17-acre space with a playground, tennis and pickleball courts, three baseball diamonds and a paved walking trail. Kids in the neighborhood can cool off in the summer at the splash pad in Hamilton’s Franklin School Park. Nearby Bloomingdale Park has its own playground and basketball courts, but is known primarily for its fishing opportunities along the St. Mary’s River.

Bus stops are within walking distance of Hamilton homes

Drivers can travel under 2 miles along Sherman Boulevard or Ewing Street to cross the St. Mary’s River and reach downtown Fort Wayne. The trip typically takes under 10 minutes, depending on traffic.Groceries and dinners are just around the corner from homes
As close as Hamilton is to downtown, dining options are close by and varied. West State Boulevard, a commercial thoroughfare in the area, cuts through part of Hamilton and is lined with both fast casual chains and locally owned restaurants. Green Frog Inn opened in 1933 and is known for its weekend brunch menu and its Wednesday Wing nights. “Green Frog is one of the more traditional watering holes in the area,” says Owen. Fortlandia, Fort Wayne’s first nanobrewery, serves local beers on Spring Street. Kroger is in the West State Plaza shopping center, and 3 Rivers Natural Grocery Food Co-op & Deli is at the corner of Spring Street and Sherman Boulevard.

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.
