Lockerbie Square’s history feels worlds away from downtown buzz
Lockerbie Square feels like a step back in time in the heart of Indianapolis. The neighborhood’s vintage lampposts, cobblestone streets and restored 19th-century houses stand in contrast to the buzz of nearby Massachusetts Avenue, the heart of Indy’s nightlife scene just a few blocks away. You can walk or bike to some of the city’s best restaurants, bars, music venues, and entertainment districts and come home to a quiet, residential atmosphere.
Lockerbie Square is Indianapolis’ early residential enclave, protected as a historic district.
Lockerbie Square hugs the eastern edge of downtown’s Mile Square, pairing quiet residential blocks with quick walk-or-bike access to Mass Ave’s dining and entertainment options.

Housing styles range from historic Victorians to modern builds
Lockerbie Square is the oldest residential neighborhood in Indianapolis and has housing styles that span across centuries. There’s a mix of cottages, Italianate, Federal and Victorian homes, as well as modern 21st-century builds. “Lockerbie Square has some of the only still existing cobblestone streets, so that is super charming,” says Jess Martin, a downtown Indy resident and co-founder and broker at Maywright Property Co. “It probably has the oldest homes within the downtown area. And a lot of them are quite a bit larger, so think older, more stately homes.” Detached garages and driveways hide behind many homes, but residents can also get free permits from the city to park on the street. While the neighborhood is in the urban core, towering trees help block out some of the noise. Single-family homes are standard here, but there’s also a sizable collection of townhouses and condos, such as the industrial Glove Factory. “That’s a large building that was turned into condos,” Martin says. “Everything else there is historic, large single family homes.” As a historic district, any exterior changes require approval from the Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission.
