Castleton, home to Indiana’s largest shopping mall
Best known as home to Indiana’s largest shopping mall, Castleton is a neighborhood that gives Indianapolis homebuyers plenty of amenities. It was established as a village over 170 years ago and became its own town several decades later. The first chapter in Castleton’s history saw it as a prosperous industrial center for brickmaking and charcoal. Then, in the early 1970s, the neighborhood (now annexed into greater Indianapolis) welcomed Castleton Square Mall. With over 1 million square feet of retail space, it’s held the title of the state’s largest shopping mall for 50 years and counting.

Castleton Square, mall of the state
Castleton Square is the epicenter of shopping, dining and entertainment in Indy’s far northside, featuring everything from retail giants like Macy’s and JCPenney to Claire’s and the LEGO Store for younger visitors. Mallgoers can catch the latest Hollywood fare and indie darlings alike at the AMC movie theater. Vintage arcade fanatics of all ages can visit the locally owned Boss Battle Games, with joystick-operated oldies like “Mortal Kombat,” racing simulators and classic pinball machines — no coins required. And while food at Castleton Square is mainly limited to big-name eateries like Charleys Cheesesteaks and Chick-fil-A, Ale Emporium lies just down the road. Along with live music and a nearly endless drink menu, this regional chain “probably has the best chicken wings in Indianapolis,” according to Bob Kincaid, Kincaid Realtors real estate agent and area native. When locals need to check off their weekly grocery run, Trader Joe’s is just on the other side of Interstate 465. However, many locally owned markets selling Asian and Latin American goods can be found throughout the neighborhood.
Castleton locals love gathering at Ale Emporium for both lunch and dinner.

Housing in every size and number of stories
While Castleton Square and other infrastructure dominate the southern portion of the neighborhood, northern Castleton is full of single- and multi-unit homes of various sizes. Most properties were built along with or after the mall’s construction, meaning lots of late-20th-century architecture can be found within self-contained developments. Condominiums that cost between $170,000 and $265,000 are primarily concentrated in the north of Castleton. Developments like Steeplechase offer duplexes, while Berkley Place specializes in three-story town houses. Single-unit homes in the neighborhood include ranches, split-levels and traditional American suburban models that typically list between $220,000 and $350,000.
Along with standalone single family homes, condos are a popular housing option in Castleton.
