Glendale is an established neighborhood about 10 miles northeast of downtown Indianapolis. The mostly residential community offers a laid-back setting close to modern amenities. Residents enjoy access to top-rated schools and commercial amenities along the Keystone Avenue corridor.
Glendale’s wooded setting is a prominent feature, as non-HOA homes grace quiet, narrow streets shaded by mature trees. Midcentury homes are common, while Cape Cods and other Colonial Revival-style homes stand out among the neighborhood’s older offerings.
Prices typically range from the low $200,000s to $600,000-plus. The median price in the low 300,000s is a bit lower than Broad Ripple, and significantly lower than Meridian-Kessler, a well-known neighborhood just south of Broad Ripple whose median is in the mid-$400,000s. “Broad Ripple has a lot of homes built in the ‘20s, ‘30s and ‘40s, when Glendale used to be out in the cornfields,” says Sherri Roizen-Watson , a Realtor with F.C. Tucker who sells homes throughout the area. “There are older homes in Broad Ripple, while Glendale has more of the ranch-style [properties] on bigger lots.”
Glendale is in Washington Township, which is part of Marion County. That means residents pay a combination of countywide property taxes and township specific school district taxes.
“The best thing about the Glendale area is that it’s about 20 minutes essentially from every area of the city, except
Greenwood,” Roizen-Watson says. “You’re 20 minutes from Carmel , 20 minutes from Zionsville , 20 minutes from Fishers
and about 20 minutes from downtown.” The quickest trip into the heart of the city is via Keystone Avenue. Residents can take it to Interstate 70 to Interstate 65 for a convenient commute. IndyGo buses run regular routes in the neighborhood for those seeing public transportation to nearby points of interest.
Glendale Town Center has been in the community since the late 1950s, when it opened as Glendale Shopping Center. While it is anchored by a Target and provides convenient shopping and dining options, its once-popular theater is being demolished as part of a multi-use redevelopment project. Keystone at the Crossing, also known as The Fashion Mall, is now the premier shopping, dining and entertainment center in the area. It’s 5 miles away up Keystone Avenue. “Glendale Town Center used to be the cat’s meow,” Roizen-Watson says. “It used to be THE shopping place until Keystone at the Crossing came along.” Featured attractions in and around Keystone Crossing include:
Most of the neighborhood is served by the highly rated Metropolitan School District of Washington Township. Students can attend highly rated Clearwater Elementary, nearby Eastwood Middle and highly rated North Central High schools. However, a small portion of the neighborhood is served by Indianapolis Public Schools, and that portion is home to Merle Sidener Academy 59. The highly rated magnet school serves gifted and talented students in first through fifth grades.
Washington Township 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. IPS accepts applications for in-district and out-of-district transfers.
Indianapolis Junior Academy, a private Christian school that serves students through eighth grade, is also in the neighborhood. St. Pius X Catholic School and Bishop Chatard High School are nearby.
Residents have easy access to the recently opened southern extension of the Nickel Plate Trail. “The Nickel Plate crosses 62nd Street, the main Glendale thoroughfare … and that takes you to the Monon Trail, so that location is fabulous for bike riders,” Roizen-Watson says. The trails intersect at the nearby Indiana State Fairgrounds, which hosts the annual state fair each summer and other events throughout the year. A neighborhood branch of the Indianapolis Public Library that opened in 2024 has become a popular attraction for more passive recreation. The branch had been located at Glendale Town Center, but it moved into a 25,000-square-foot facility on the site of the former John Strange Elementary.
