Single-family homes and condos are available in Nora
Nora has single-family homes, condos and townhouses at a lower price than nearby Carmel. Most homes were built between the 1950s and the ’80s and sit on half-acre lots, but the most expensive houses can have lots that are an acre or more. “A lot of the neighborhoods feel suburban and not necessarily inside the 465 loop. We have a lot more mature trees,” says Tommy Johnson, a Realtor with @Properties and resident of neighboring Saint Vincent-Greenbriar. “A lot of people that are in Broad Ripple that have family end up in Nora because Broad Ripple has smaller homes, and Nora has bigger yards and bigger houses as well.” On the neighborhood’s east side, new builds sit on more compact lots and feature modern Craftsman and Colonial Revival styles.
Housing options in Nora-Far Northside cater to various price points.

Easy commutes on I-465, but limited access to public transportation
Drivers can get to downtown Indianapolis and its international airport in about 30 minutes. There are some IndyGo bus stops on 86th Street, but most people drive. “It’s between the heart of downtown Indianapolis and all those other northern suburbs that are taking off,” Johnson says of Nora. While traffic can get busy, he says “I think people mostly like it because we’ve got 65 and 465 running together right there. In Broad Ripple, they don’t like how far they are from the interstate, so it makes any trip a little longer. Nora gives you more access to some of those other areas like Fishers because you can hop onto an interstate faster.”
Nora-Far Northside is located next to Interstate 465.
Most people drive, but Nora-Far Northside residents can take advantage of the IndyGo bus system.
