Devon is an established residential neighborhood known for its midcentury homes and quiet setting on the north side of Indianapolis . The community features the Devon Country Club, and residents enjoy access to highly rated schools. Commuters are within 10 miles of downtown Indianapolis.
The neighborhood offers large lots with mature trees that add to its secluded feel. “The homes are mostly ranches, but there’s also some very cool midcentury moderns,” says Sherri Roizen-Watson , a Realtor with the F.C. Tucker Co. who sells homes throughout the area. On the north side of the neighborhood, homes built in the 1990s grace the shores of the private Mallard Lake. Pontoons and private docks are a common sight in these residents’ backyards. Multi-level homes stand out in the nearby Ladywood section of the neighborhood, which includes dozens of condos. Waterfront and Ladywood homeowners pay minimal HOA fees. Monthly fees are higher for the neighborhood’s condos.
Prices typically range from the low $200,000s to the low $500,000s. The neighborhood’s median sales price in the low $300,000s is the highest among surrounding neighborhoods, primarily due to lot size and privacy. On the other hand, Devon is often compared to Meridian-Kessler, a more active northside neighborhood with a median price in the mid-$400,000s. “It’s a lower price point if you’re looking for a large lot,” Roizen-Watson says. On average, it takes 65 days to sell a home in Devon, which is 10 days longer than the national average.
The neighborhood is served by the Metropolitan School District of Washington Township. Eight elementary schools feed into three middle schools, which feed into the highly rated North Central High School. Young students in the neighborhood would typically attend the highly rated Clearwater Elementary before moving on to Eastwood Middle School. Students can apply for transfers to schools outside of their geographic zones, but approval of such transfers is rare. The district does accept limited applications from non-resident students seeking to transfer into Washington Township schools.
Membership to Devon Country Club is voluntary. It is not tied to homeownership. Those who do join the club have access to resort-style amenities, including a large swimming pool and courts for tennis and volleyball. The long-running club’s motto is Time Well Wasted Since 1956. “It’s a great little neighborhood club,” Roizen-Watson says. “That’s a big bonus.”
Outdoor enthusiasts can take advantage of the amenities at Fort Harrison State Park, a regional attraction in the nearby town of Lawrence. Featured amenities include lakes, trails and a golf course. The neighborhood is just minutes from the Indiana Fairgrounds, whose signature event is the 15-day Indiana State Fair. The venue keeps a busy, year-round schedule that includes concerts and sporting events.
Residents can catch the bus along 42nd Street, which forms the neighborhood’s south side. Otherwise, getting in and out of the neighborhood requires a car. It’s about an 8-mile drive into the heart of the city. “If you’re going downtown, it’s probably 20 minutes, tops,” Roizen-Watson says. Commuters can take Emerson Avenue, which forms the neighborhood’s east side, to Interstate 70 about 3 miles away. From there, they can drive directly into downtown. They can also go the other way on I-70 and connect to Interstate 465.
While Devon is tucked away, there’s a Walmart Neighborhood Market and the Lincoln Square Pancake House just north of the neighborhood. There are a variety of commercial options nearby to the west. Featured destinations along 46th Street include:
