Geist is an Indianapolis neighborhood anchored by waterfront homes
Geist is one of the premier residential destinations in the Indianapolis area.

A neighborhood known for its waterfront housing
The waterfront properties that line the shores of Geist Reservoir are a mix of established homes and large, custom estates, most with private docks that provide their owners with direct access to the neighborhood’s defining feature. Prices typically range from the high $800,000s to about $2.5 million. Inland homes typically range from the high $200,000s to the low $800,000s. Those on the high end tend to be closer to the water. Many of the inland options are contemporary homes found in walkable subdivision settings, and some offer waterfront views. Acreage properties on the west side add to the neighborhood’s housing mix. Condos, which also include waterfront offerings, offer a more hassle-free alternative. Prices range from the mid-$100,000s to the low $500,000s. Monthly HOA fees for single-family homes range from the low $30s to the high $100s. For condos, where fees pay for community amenities and upkeep, the range is from the low $300s to the low $500s. Some areas are prone to flooding, so prospective homebuyers should check with their local Realtor to determine if a property is in a floodplain.

Geist Marina is a neighborhood attraction
While waterfront homeowners need only walk out to their backyard to hop in a boat or watercraft, all residents can enjoy the reservoir. The neighborhood’s Geist Marina has more than 500 boat slips. There’s also a paid, seasonal launch for sailboats there, since they are too tall to pass under the Fall Creek Bridge. The main public boat launch is nearby on Olio Road. Geist Marina also hosts the annual Fourth of July fireworks show, and part of the annual Geist Half Marathon runs through the neighborhood along Fall Creek Road. A beach is the featured attraction at nearby Geist Waterfront Park, which also offers a pirate-themed playground. Another popular amenity there is the public boat launch for canoes, kayaks and paddle boards.
Waterfront restaurants at Geist Marina accessible by boat
Neighborhood dining options are highlighted by waterfront restaurants such as Wolfies Grill and Eddy’s Neighborhood Bar & Grill. Both are located at Geist Marina and are accessible by boat. Geist Station and Geist Center are shopping centers that offer more dining options, including Lincoln Square Pancake House and The Groovy Café. The family-owned Sundae’s Homemade Ice Cream is another popular neighborhood stop. Kroger and Meijer are just minutes away.

I love living in the Geist community. The area is really on the come up and there are so many family friendly activities to enjoy. Going boating with my family on the Geist reservoir is one of my favorite activities. There also are a lot of new food/ice cream places opening up that are so delicious. The public and private schools around this area are very nice as well.
