A small-town feel with an Indianapolis address
Though it was incorporated into Indy in 1970, New Bethel was a primarily rural area until a 2020s building spree brought multiple subdivisions and a new grade school to these former farm fields 12 miles southeast of downtown. “New Bethel has gotten more popular over the past several years,” says Spartan Realty broker/owner Vicky Carr . “In fact, it has recently been named one of the best places to live in Indiana by Niche and Best Neighborhoods.”
There are many quiet areas of New Bethel with homes that are a bit more spread apart.
