Park State East
Suburban Neighborhood in Fort Wayne, Indiana
Allen County 46815
Affordable, private homes in eastern Allen County
Ranch-style homes make up most of the housing stock in Park State East, although buyers will also find a few split levels in the mix. Prices range from $150,000 to $200,000, which is significantly lower than the city’s average home value of $230,000. But with many of these 1,500-square-foot homes built in the 1970s, Jemison says buyers appreciate “the affordability and the age of the home they’re getting for that price.” Large backyards leave room for small private pools or trampolines, while front yards often feature colorful shrubs that add a touch of character to the sidewalk-lined streets. The Savannah Springs senior apartment community is also an option for those looking to rent in a 55-plus community.

There’s even a seasonal splash pad for cooling off in summer. At the southern end of the park, visitors will find a trailhead for the Maumee River greenway, which meanders beside its namesake river for 26 miles.

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.
