Maplecrest is at Goshen’s northeastern edge, where suburban streets quickly give way to the rural heart of Elkhart County. The neighborhood is named after its defining feature: Maplecrest Country Club. The private country club opened in 1960, and the neighborhood developed soon thereafter. Though few Maplecrest residents are club members, the course fosters a quiet, peaceful tone beyond ts boundaries that extends into the neighborhood. “Maplecrest Country Club and nearby Norton Lake provide residents with a scenic view,” says City of Goshen Community Relations Manager Hannah Scott-Carter.
Some newer homes in Maplecrest feature contemporary styling with gently sloped rooflines.

A collection of midcentury homes with spacious yards
With street names like Nicklaus Drive and Player Drive – a tip of the cap to two of the most dominant golfers of the late 1960s and early 1970s – the neighborhood acknowledges its proximity to the country club, but these are not luxury golf course estates. The neighborhood consists of well-maintained ranch-style and split-level homes where most lawns have one or more mature trees adding to the sense of peace. Residents who live in Maplecrest tend to stay – the neighborhood averages fewer than two homes sold per year since 2021. Prices range from $170,000 to $375,000.
Updated split-levels give Maplecrest its up-and-coming vibes.

Local roads lead to Indiana Amish Country
Given its nearly rural location, Maplecrest is a car-dependent neighborhood. Maplecrest is bordered by two major local roads, Indiana State Road 15 and Middlebury Street. Both routes lead 2 miles south to Downtown Goshen, and State Road 15 also goes 8 miles north to Bristol and the Indiana Toll Road. Middlebury Road heads 9 miles northeast through the heart of Northern Indiana’s Amish Country towards Middlebury.
The nearest hospital is Goshen Hospital, located downtown. Goshen Municipal Airport is about 7 miles away with regional destinations serviced by American Airlines, United, Breeze Airways, and Aeromexico.
Close to 17-mile Pumpkinvine Nature Trail
Though a handful of Maplecrest Country Club members live in the neighborhood, the golf course is generally a neighboring greenspace for most. The club offers golf, pickleball and a full-service restaurant for its members. Similarly, nearby Norton Lake enhances the area’s beauty but does not feature a public boat launch or fishing area. The nearby Pumpkinvine Nature Trail is the top publicly accessible recreational area for Maplecrest residents. The 17-mile trail connects the towns of Goshen, Middlebury and Shipshewana.
Locals use the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail for safe bike transportation.
Maplecrest locals enjoy fishing at the headwaters of the Millrace Canal.

Maplecrest residents have a short drive to one of Indiana’s biggest annual events. The Elkhart County 4-H Fair draws more than 200,000 people to Goshen during its nine-day run every July – a total that makes it the state’s third most-attended event behind the Indianapolis 500 and Indiana State Fair in Indianapolis.
