Indianapolis suburb immersed in nature

The Eagle Creek Reservoir cuts through the center of the neighborhood as part of Eagle Creek Park. At 4,766 acres, the park is one of this neighborhood's big appeals, with a network of hiking trails and calm waters for swimming, boating and fishing. "If someone wants to be closer to nature, Eagle Creek is a good area to live in because otherwise, it's mostly farmland nearby," says Jerry Hanna, a Broker with Highgarden Real Estate. Bordered by I-65 to the north, Eagle Creek is well connected to downtown Indianapolis, just 11 miles away.
Eagle Creek is surrounded by mature trees and lakes creating a scenic atmosphere.

The Indianapolis Rowing Center offers youth, adult and adaptive rowing classes. Personal boats are capped at ten horsepower and 26 feet, lending to relatively calm waters.
