The neighborhood originated in the early 19th century and evolved into a cluster of residential neighborhoods. It is bordered by the Keystone Avenue commercial corridor and primarily served by the highly rated Metropolitan School District of Washington Township. Millersville is about 8 miles from downtown Indianapolis, so residents enjoy quick commutes into the heart of the city.

Lake Maxinhall Estates stands out among the attractive settings

Housing options range from Cape Cods to midcentury ranches to contemporary models. Ranch-style homes offer the largest lots, while smaller, older homes and newer homes are built closer together. Contemporary offerings are concentrated in subdivision settings with sidewalks. No matter the style, homes grace quiet streets shaded by mature trees. Lake Maxinhall Estates is a standout section of the neighborhood on its namesake 85-acre lake. Waterfront homes here feature private docks.

Prices are favorable among similar northside neighborhoods

Prices typically range from the low $200,000s to the mid-$400,000s, though some waterfront or new construction can exceed this range. Millersville’s median sales price is around $300,000, while it is in the mid-$300,000s in neighboring Broad Ripple . It’s in the high $300,000s in Nora-Far Northside , another well-known neighborhood. Homes sell the quickest in Millersville among the three, averaging 33 days. Overall, taxes are generally higher in Washington Township, part of Marion County, than in the suburbs—areas outside the township. However, Indiana's constitutional circuit-breaker law caps property taxes on primary homes at 1 percent of a home’s gross assessed value. Owners of more modestly priced homes—which are more common in Marion County than the suburbs—are more likely to hit the 1 percent cap. This limits the annual tax hit and narrows the difference between the township and the suburbs.

Highly-rated Washington Township schools, and an IPS magnet

Most of the neighborhood is served by Metropolitan Township schools. Students can attend highly rated Clearwater Elementary and nearby Eastwood Middle schools before moving on to highly rated North Central High School. The northwest corner of the neighborhood is part of Indianapolis Public Schools, a district that includes nearby 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 their geographic zones, but such transfers are rare and require approval. Washington Township does accept limited applications from non-resident students seeking to transfer into the district. Indianapolis Public Schools accepts applications for in-district and out-of-district transfers.
St. Matthew Catholic School, which serves students through eighth grade, is in the neighborhood. Bishop Chatard High School is in neighboring Canterbury-Chatard.

Peaceful recreation along Fall Creek

Millersville is also bordered by Fall Creek, which powered grist mills in the neighborhood’s early days. “Millersville was once a quiet farming community that's grown with the city along the peaceful banks of Fall Creek,” says Miriam Odegard , a Realtor with United Real Estate Indianapolis. “People like to use the walking trails, and it's not unusual to see herons, eagles, deer and foxes.” The Fall Creek Trail is especially popular with bike riders. Millersville at Fall Creek Preserve is a community-created space along the trail, with a sculpture commemorating the area's milling history and a space to relax and reflect. Broad Ripple Park is a popular destination about 3 miles away, with a family center, pool and public ramp along the White River.
