Relative affordability, but many residents rent

Bungalows stand out among the small homes that make up the mostly older, non-HOA housing stock. The neighborhood also has midcentury ranch-style homes with larger lots and the occasional new build. It’s close to a 50/50 split between owners and renters. “You can buy a house to flip it, but if nobody’s buying, it just ends up being a rental,” says Kathryn Teltow of EasyStreet Realty, who adds that “of the homeowners, a lot are generational.”
Prices typically range from around $70,000 to the high $200,000s. The median sales price in the mid-$100,000s is more than 40 percent lower than the Indianapolis median, and it is the lowest among nearby communities. The median is in the high $100,000s for neighboring Mars Hill and Garden City, and it is in the mid-$200,000s for Ameriplex, which borders the airport to the south.

Noise and traffic are part of living in Stout Field

Potential homebuyers should be aware that while they are not directly adjacent to the airport, noise, traffic and commercial activity are part of living in this area. “I think you just live with it, and I think that’s one of the reasons it is so rental-heavy," Teltow says. A rail line and Interstate 70 run through the neighborhood, which is bordered by Interstate 465 and the Sam Jones Expressway that leads to the airport. In addition, the neighborhood is home to the headquarters of the Indiana National Guard, and it is separated from the airport by the Fletcher Park Business Park.
