Indianapolis suburb with longtime residents

Accessibility is one perk of living in the I-69 Fall Creek neighborhood, bordered by Interstates 69 and 465 outside Indianapolis. "You can easily get downtown but also get back to the suburbs," says Staci Woods, Realtor with Keller Williams Indy Metro Northeast. Yet those who move here tend to stay a while. Unique homes with decorative brick and stonework fill this residential neighborhood. On the daily commute to work, mature trees and manicured lawns create a pleasant view. Families have access to three highly-rated schools within the neighborhood and plenty of fun activities and events throughout the year at Fort Harrison State Park.

Unique homes on large lots in I-69 Fall Creek

I-69 Fall Creek is made up of a collection of ungated subdivisions with manicured landscaping, large front yards and a variety of home styles. They typically date from the '60s through the '90s. "They're not like new-build neighborhoods where everything seems the same; there's a little more character that way," Woods says. Low-lying, L-shaped, and raised ranches are located throughout the neighborhood. Tudor homes are also common, alluding to old England with visible wood beams on the front. Two-car garages and sprawling driveways leave ample room for parking. With a median lot size of about a third of an acre, many homes have front and back yards with plenty of room for letting the dog out or hosting a party. Sidewalks are widely available and have plenty of shade from mature trees. Prices start around $150,000 for homes that are around 1,500 square feet. Prices go up to $745,000 for homes above 4,000 square feet.

Fun throughout the seasons at Fort Harrison State Park

Fort Harrison State Park is the go-to area for fresh air, bordering the neighborhood's south side. With 1,700 acres, it offers plenty to do throughout the year, including walking through wildflowers in the spring, canoeing down Fall Creek in the summer, enjoying autumn colors in the fall and cross-country skiing in the winter. Hiking trails cater to different ability levels, ranging from easy to difficult. "It's a beautiful park that's hilly and wooded and used by everyone from hikers to bicyclists to families," says Greg Cooper, a broker and founding partner of Compass of Indiana.

I-465 to the airport and downtown

Downtown commuters may take it to connect with Interstate 70 toward the city center. I-465 also leads to Indianapolis International Airport, about 30 miles southwest, offering nonstop flights across North America.
