Optimally located on Indy's north side

Delaware Trails sprung up as a neighborhood when Indianapolis developed northward in the mid-20th century. Though originally founded as a suburb, the neighborhood became part of Indianapolis proper when the city and county governments consolidated in 1970. So even though it has a city address, Delaware Trails feels more like a small suburb at the edge of the city. “The best part about Delaware Trails is its location,” says Bob Kincaid, owner of Kincaid Realtors, LLC. “There’s not much it doesn’t have -- it’s very desirable.” The area offers a wide selection of homes and convenient access to shopping, parks and highly rated schools.

Diverse home styles, condos and a sense of privacy

Mature trees shade much of the neighborhood’s streets, giving most homes a sense of privacy. Delaware Trails features a variety of housing styles, sizes and prices. Traditional architecture, Cape Cods and ranch-style homes are common single-family styles that often sell between $200,000 and $700,000.
