Rural and suburban living combine in Northeast Fort Wayne

Northeast Fort Wayne unfolds along the city’s outskirts, offering residents a mix of suburban and rural settings. Homes here line neat subdivisions and also rest back from quiet roads. Residents enjoy easy access to interstates 469 and 69, and abundant recreational opportunities, from Shoaff Park to Hurshtown Reservoir. Though separated from the busy city center, the community’s location provides quick trips to the big-box stores and restaurants in Chapel Ridge Shopping Center and the many retailers at Glenbrook Square.

A mix of midcentury homes and brand new builds

The community’s location offers homebuyers a wide range of options. “Inside Interstate 469, there are more established neighborhoods,” says Angela Zimmerman, a local Realtor with Wyatt Group Realtors who has four years of experience. These subdivisions feature ranch and New Traditional-style homes built from the late 20th century through today, and tend to sit on tight lots with well-kept lawns. “It gets very rural outside of the interstate,” she says. “So those looking into this neighborhood have that choice.” Homes in this portion of the community back up to sprawling crop fields and share similar architectural styles but tend to sit on larger lots, which can reach up to four acres. Prices typically range from the low $200,000s to the high $500,000s. However, larger homes on more land can surpass $700,000 and reach just over $1 million.

Residents shop and dine at Chapel Ridge Shopping Center

Most shopping and dining options sit right off Interstate 469. Chapel Ridge Shopping Center is situated in the neighborhood and features a Meijer for groceries, as well as big-box stores like Walmart Supercenter and Kohl’s. A mix of chain and locally owned restaurants also dots the community. Shigs In Pit BBQ & Brew is a city staple, where patrons can enjoy smoked brisket and burnt ends with a craft beer. Zimmerman notes Casa Grille Italiano and Uniq BBQ & Shabu as other local favorites. The development is also home to Meijer for groceries, alongside Walmart Supercenter, Kohl’s and other big-box stores. For a more robust selection, Glenbrook Square offers dozens of well-known retailers, 5 miles southwest.

Outdoor fun includes golf, swimming and fishing

For outdoor recreation, locals head to Shoaff Park, which stretches along the banks of the Maumee River. The park is abuzz during weekends, with numerous sports facilities that fill up for youth sports games, a playground, a splash pad and more. It's also home to a public 18-hole golf course. Hurshtown Reservoir is another popular spot, where you can cast a line for smallmouth bass and walleye. Metea County Park, located on Union Chapel Road, offers wooded trails and a swimming pond. Its $3 admission fee also provides access to its educational nature center.

Two major Interstates make for easy commutes

Interstates 469 and 69 are easily accessible, making for convenient commutes around the greater Fort Wayne metro area. Though Fort Wayne Public Transportation Corporation offers a Citilink bus stop on Clinton Street, the neighborhood is primarily car dependent. Residents can reach Downtown Fort Wayne in 9 miles, and Fort Wayne International Airport in a 23-mile trip southwest. The nearest medical facility, Dupont Hospital, is 6 miles away.
