An established community that meets today's demand
Large, lush trees line the streets of Fort Wayne’s Monarch Park, a small suburban neighborhood on the east side. Monarch Park is an established walkable neighborhood with sidewalks on most streets. Established homes sell after an average of 10 days on the market. "It's still very competitive, especially houses in the $250,000 range and under," says Realtor and owner Michelle Wyatt of Wyatt Group Realtors. One of the reasons for demand is the adjacent thoroughfare, State Boulevard, which takes residents 6 miles west into Downtown Fort Wayne.
Residents of Monarch Park appreciate the proximity to downtown Fort Wayne.

Spending time at Kreager Park
Kreager Park lies a mile and a half east as the neighborhood's closest multi-purpose park. Once a potato farm, the 200-plus acre spot today focuses on sports with soccer fields and tennis courts, along with an inclusive-playground for children of all abilities. It includes a multi-sensory, dinosaur-themed area, a splash pad and a pod for kids. From Kreager Park, cyclists and walkers can access 26 miles of trails along the Maumee River, extending east and west toward Fort Wayne and more rural areas. Because of the presence of pollution, river swimming is discouraged. The Allen County Public Library nearby hosts public activities such as scrapbooking, chain mail jewelry-making workshops and kids' story time hours.
