Postwar homes with midcentury style near Irvington

East Gate was developed primarily during a post-World War II housing boom, so this area of Indianapolis offers definite midcentury charm. Ranch-style homes on spacious lots are prominent among the older housing stock, which also includes bungalows and other traditional styles. Brick construction designed to handle the Midwestern weather is common along quiet streets shaded by mature trees. “A lot of people looking here like the urban lifestyle and being close to Irvington, and traditional mid-century modern type of houses,” says Karen Lyons of New Quantum Realty Group. Prices typically range from the low $100,000s to the low $300,000s.
