A Westside neighborhood in the Indianapolis airport corridor
Located in Southwest Indianapolis, the Stout Field community knows all about trains, planes and automobiles.
Filled with early 20th-century cottages and bungalows in its residential sections, Stout Field is named for a former airport that moved about two miles west and became the Indianapolis International Airport in the 1930s. Today, most of the area’s residents are sandwiched between two interstate highways, a freight railroad line, a large business office district and a National Guard base in the city’s busy airport corridor.
About 65% of the neighborhood is zoned industrial, contributing to the community’s distinctly blue-collar character. While much of the area is loud and busy with all sorts of traffic rumbling around the community, the residential parts have a relatively quiet charm. There aren’t many sidewalks but large old-growth trees shade many of the cracked asphalt streets and homes wrapped by chain-link and wooden picket fences. More than a half dozen churches of various Christian denominations are also located along the primarily residential streets, helping foster a neighborly community.
Stout Field has mature trees lining the streets for a natural atmosphere.
Stout Field is a friendly neighborhood in Indianapolis with a charming atmosphere.

Affordable bungalows and cottages in a hot market
Home prices start for as low as $60,000 for small one- and two-bedroom bungalows covering less than 900 square feet. With realtors highlighting many of these properties as good opportunities for first-time buyers or investors, the average sales price increased by 21% in the 12 months before April 2024. “Indianapolis right now is a hot market. … There’s still low inventory and high demand,” says Daniel O’Brien, a local agent with Trueblood Real Estate. “We’ve already seen a significant uptick in buyer activity. There’s no signs of things slowing down.” At the midpoint for Stout Field, midcentury ranch-style homes and bungalows averaging about 1,200 square feet sell for $150,000. New construction homes and properties with three or more bedrooms can sell for upward of $200,000.

Highway shopping centers and a classic racing-themed dive bar
Stout Field’s residential sections form a T-shape. Along the top line, West Washington Street is lined by low-slung retail stores, fast-food restaurants, car dealerships, commercial service providers and a Kroger supermarket. Close to where the roadway intersects with Interstate 74/465, friends and neighbors meet for beers and other libations at the Checkered Flag Tavern, an old-school bar and eatery with a racing theme that pays homage to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway about four miles north. Deeper in the community, Gil Tacos is a popular spot specializing in quick Mexican eats in a tiny neighborhood shopping center with a convenience store that also sells hot food.
Checkered Flag Tavern has been a top restaurant in the Stout Field neighborhood since 1947.

A community park and commercial indoor recreation
Aside from the small open field, playground and basketball court at Stout Field Park in the southeast corner of the community along the four-lane Sam Jones Expressway, most residents must drive outside the community to visit a public park.
