A mix of new, old homes more affordable than northern suburbs
Greenwood offers the new and ongoing construction of contemporary homes in walkable subdivision settings that has come to characterize the growing suburbs of Indianapolis. Most HOA fees are under $75 per month. They are a little higher for townhouses and condos. The community however, offers a variety of older, non-HOA housing. Ranch-style homes on spacious lots are prominent, while other options include homes designed in traditional architectural styles on tree-filled streets in established neighborhoods such as Old Town. Golf course homes and waterfront properties are also available. While manufactured homes and fixer-uppers can be found for under $100,000, prices typically range from the low $100,000s to $700,000-plus within the city limits. Large custom homes and acreage homes on the outskirts of town can list for $1 million or more. “Greenwood is less expensive than the northern suburbs,” says Angi Oakes , an associate broker with Berkshire Hathaway Indiana Realty who has sold dozens of homes in the city. “Same amenities, but lower price points.” Oakes adds that while a “well-positioned, well-priced property” can sell quickly, the market doesn’t cater to either buyer or sellers. “There are opportunities for both,” she says. On average, homes sell in 39 days, 16 days faster than the national average. Greenwood’s median sales price in the mid-$300,000s is a bit higher than neighboring Franklin.

Located near Interstates 65 and 69 for commutes into Indianapolis
Greenwood is conveniently located for travel along Interstate 65 and Interstate 69. Commuting via I-65, which runs through the city’s east side, is the more direct route downtown. “It it’s just a regular day, it’s a 15-minute drive,” Oakes says. Commuters on the west side can hop on I-69, connect to Interstate 465 and loop around to get to the heart of the city. “It drops you off right behind Lucas Oil Stadium," Oakes says. Greenwood is part of Central Indiana’s logistics and transportation hub, and Amazon is a key employer on the outskirts of town near I-65. U.S. Highway 31 runs through the heart of the community and connects residents to the south side of Indianapolis and neighboring Franklin, the Johnson County seat. Public transportation to local points of interest is available via IndyGo buses.

Multiple highly rated school districts serve Greenwood
Most of the city is served by the Greenwood Community School Corporation, a highly rated district. Upgrades to Greenwood High School and two elementary campuses are part of a $10 million bond initiative approved in 2025. Western Greenwood is part of the Center Grove Community School Corporation, the highest-rated district in Johnson County. Both allow students to apply for transfers to schools within their respective districts, as well as to schools outside of their districts. “If you have an athlete in the family, you go to Center Grove. If you’re a band kid, you go to Greenwood,” Oakes says. A small portion of Greenwood’s southeast side is served by the Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation.

Greenwood Fieldhouse stands out among city's recreational destinations
Greenwood offers more than 400 acres of parks, miles of trails and more. “One big thing the city has done is take the old Greenwood Middle School and turn it into the Greenwood Fieldhouse,” Oakes says. It has courts for basketball and pickleball and non-traditional amenities such as golf simulators and an indoor soccer field. It is also used for community events, such as having a Taylor Swift Tribute band in concert when the singer came to town for her Eras Tour. “It’s a true multiuse space, something we’ve never had before,” Oakes says. Other popular recreational attractions include:
Greenwood Sports Park, anchored by its state-of-the-art softball/baseball diamonds
Freedom Park, which includes a large playground, aquatic center and disc golf course
