Neighborhood Reviews
Just four miles from downtown is a neighborhood that prides itself on its close-knit community. Homecroft was established in 1923 after World War I. “It feels like you are in a small town even though you are in the shadow of the big city,” says Leticia Latinovich, Realtor with Keller Williams Indy Metro South.
Houses in Homecroft range from ranch-style homes to Colonial Revival homes. Most of these homes were built from the 1920s to the 1940s. With this development came the installation of sidewalks and the planting of maple trees. Those living in the community are usually long-term residents, making it difficult to find a home for sale within the neighborhood. You can purchase a ranch-style home built in the 1940s with three bedrooms and two baths for $265,000. The median listing price for a home in Homecroft is $262,495.

They are also known for their seasonal drinks. Summer Send Off is made with strawberry juice and coconut cream. For an added touch, a freeze-dried strawberry sits at the top of this refreshing drink. One of their most popular drinks is the Cafe Miel, which includes raw honey, ground cinnamon, or and steamed milk. For something sweet, order one of their No-Bake cookies. These homemade cookies are chewy oatmeal cookies with a taste of peanut butter and chocolate.
Long’s Bakery is an Indianapolis staple that is always worth the trip. You can see the high demand of their Glazed Yeast Donuts by the line the wraps around the store. Other notable items are their chocolate eclairs and chocolate-covered cake donuts. This bakery is cash-only.
