You couldn't be closer to the airport
Interstate 70 separates the neighborhood from the airport. The location has its pros and cons. “It’s by the airport, so there’s air traffic. It’s not the quietest area,” says Brandon Wilson, owner of Wilson Trust Realty. “But it is affordable. I used to work at the airport, and it would be a perfect location to live.” A commute into the heart of the city via I-70 is about 10 miles and takes around 20 minutes. Taking Kentucky Avenue and avoiding the interstate is a shorter trip, but it takes the same amount of time. The 1-465 loop connects to major roadways throughout the region. That includes nearby Interstate 69 and U.S. Highway 31, which offer access to the amenities in south Indianapolis and fast-growing suburbs such as Greenwood. IndyGo buses run along neighborhood streets and provide public transportation to local points of interest.
Indianapolis International Airport is adjacent to Mars Hill.
