Indian Village
Foster Park offers outdoor opportunities close to home
Two parks border the neighborhood, connected by a walking trail. Indian Village Park, on the west side, is the smaller of the two. It has a picnic area and a playground with a swing set, a rock-climbing area and three slides. The park is a stop along the 24-mile Rivergreenway Trail, a winding hiking trail that leads to the larger Foster Park on the southeastern side of the neighborhood.In 1912, Samuel and Col. David N. Foster donated Foster Park’s original 67 acres to Fort Wayne, and 151 acres have since been added. Foster Park includes pavilions, a dog park, playgrounds, community gardens, tennis courts and a 2-mile riverfront trail that’s locally known as “the loop.”
Also in the park is the Foster Park Golf Course, an 18-hole course that plays to a par 71. Currently, the city government is managing a construction project designed to improve the course’s flood resistance. “We’ve had issues with flooding in the past, but it’s still a rarity,” says Gary Whitacre, the course’s manager. “The construction is being managed by the city to control the floodwaters of the nearby river. The course is still open, and there are two other city courses also available.”
Varied home styles line the curving streets
Indian Village has a mix of architectural styles, including cottages, Cape Cods and mid-century ranch-style homes, ranging in price from $100,000 to $250,000. Many homes come with attached garages and wide paved driveways, and the streets are walkable, with well-paved sidewalks. Front yards are spacious and well-manicured, often featuring small gardens or ornamental trees.Live music, pub food and karaoke nights are nearby
Indian Village has a close-knit feel, with local restaurants, bars and shops on the north side of the neighborhood in and around the Foster Park Plaza. The 07 Pub is a popular meetup spot, and The Clyde serves meals during live performances by local and traveling artists. Nearby, Office Tavern hosts karaoke night, where guests can put on their own performances while enjoying the Tavern’s wings and drinks. Another popular restaurant, Hainan House, is a family-owned eatery offering traditional Chinese fare for dine-in and take-out. Curly’s Village Inn is a mixed-use restaurant and event space with a second-floor party room that has hosted over 40 years of milestone celebrations in the neighborhood. The nearest grocery store is Save A Lot, also found in the Foster Park Plaza.South Side High has a century-old claim to fame
Students may attend Indian Village Elementary School, graded C-plus by Niche; Kekionga Middle School, graded C; and South Side High School, graded C-plus. South Side High has a long history in Fort Wayne: when the school opened in 1922, it was the largest one-story building in the country.Downtown Fort Wayne is a three-mile trip north
When locals want to venture out, downtown Fort Wayne is just three miles north. Driving from Indian Village to downtown takes between 10 and 15 minutes, depending on traffic, along Broadway or Fairfield Avenue. CityBus routes are available throughout midtown and downtown, and are managed by the city government.
