A peaceful community almost paused in time

In northeast Indianapolis, the quiet residential community of Devon stands out from surrounding neighborhoods. The neighborhood is known for its stunning collection of mid-century ranches and mid-century modern homes, which sit on large lots surrounded by trees. The tradeoff for being about 8 miles from downtown is the peaceful surroundings, relative seclusion, and perhaps even a sense of nostalgia. The slow pace is conducive to kids riding their bikes to the local pool on summer afternoons, and residents pushing strollers or walking their pups in the evenings.

Midcentury stunners and lakeside options

The unique architectural styles of homes in the Devon neighborhood are a selling point for homebuyers. "Devon is a mecca for mid-century and mid-century modern homes," says Kelly Huff, an associate broker with Huff Homes who has sold several homes in the neighborhood. Most houses are on large lots close to half an acre; mature trees offer privacy. Though few streets have sidewalks, the quiet residential streets invite minimal traffic. Move-in-ready homes range from around $200,000 to $530,000. A small subdivision of newer homes, built in the 1990s, backs up to Lake Mallard on tighter-spaced lots; homes here run around $500,000 to $530,000.

Parks and pools close to home

Residents of Devon have access to the Devon Country Club, a membership-based go-to spot in the summer. With its seven-lane lap pool and outdoor tennis and volleyball courts, there are many ways to have fun in the summer heat. A handful of pocket parks with playgrounds and room to run are within a mile or two of home, or residents can head to the 1,700-acre Fort Harrison State Park, less than 15 minutes away. This park features walking trails, fishing and picnic areas, equestrian trails and an 18-hole championship golf course. The Lawrence Creek trail is a beauty to see in the summer when the wildflowers are fully blossomed. In the autumn, the forestry is covered in orange and yellow. In the winter, residents use the park to go sledding. Another option on cold or rainy days is a group fitness class or game of indoor basketball at the Avondale Meadows YMCA, just 2 miles from Devon.
