Affordable ranch and split-level homes
Homes in Tanbark Trails sit along gently curving streets that end in cul-de-sacs with small but neatly landscaped islands in the center. Sidewalks are wide enough for a stroll while enjoying the shade of the mature oak trees. “When it’s warm out, you’ll see lots of neighbors walking around. It’s pretty peaceful,” says Nino. The 1980s and '90s-era homes reflect a variety of architecture, with ranch- and split-level styles being the most common. Homes with Tudor flairs or more modern features like asymmetrical roofs appear every few lots or so, as do stone accents and more unusual touches like all-wood siding. “Affordability is a factor out there, and it looks like the lots all have at least a third of an acre,” says Realtor Warren Barnes of North Eastern Group Realty. Prices typically range from $215,000 to $300,000.

Shoaff Park offers outdoor fun
Residents don’t have to go far for outdoor fun. Shoaff Park is 2 miles to the west and has sand volleyball courts, pickleball courts and multipurpose fields. The park also has its own golf course overlooking the St. Joseph River and a pavilion. The Jackson R. Lehman Family YMCA is also close, situated along St. Joe Center Road, making it a great nearby alternative on rainy days. Aside from the standard gym amenities, it also has a sensory room to make the Y more accessible to those with sensory-processing conditions.

Flooding in Fort Wayne
Flooding in Fort Wayne isn’t common, but major incidents of property damage have occurred intermittently over recent decades. This is largely due to the city’s three intersecting rivers, of which the St. Joseph River, less than 1 mile west of Tanbark Trails, is one. First Street designates the city’s flood risk as “moderate.”Hop on Interstate 469 and head into downtown Fort Wayne
An entrance to Interstate 469 is located right on the northern edge of the neighborhood, meaning residents have easy access to all of Fort Wayne and beyond with connections to Interstate 69. Downtown Fort Wayne is approximately a 20-minute or 8-mile drive away. The Citilink bus does not extend to Tanbark Trails, as the closest stop is 2 miles south of the neighborhood, making the area a car-dependent one. The Fort Wayne International Airport can be reached via a 24-mile, 30-minute drive.

Big-box stores along Maplecrest Road, with local restaurants close by
Shopping clusters around the intersections along Maplecrest Road. Residents can pick up groceries at the Kroger along St. Joe Center Road or grab other everyday needs farther south at the Target at Stellhorn Road. While fast-food chains are close, it’s the locally owned joints that are most popular. Shigs in Pit Barbecue lies a mile south for comfort food and craft beers in a casual atmosphere. Casa Grille Italiano serves classic dishes such as wood-fired pizzas. There’s also Zesto Ice Cream, a regional soft-serve chain open seasonally.

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.
