Mid-century homes near brand-new factories
Though it’s a decades-old Kokomo neighborhood, Bon Air is gaining new relevance thanks to its proximity to the city’s largest new employer – twin battery manufacturing plants that will build electric vehicle batteries once construction is completed in 2025 and 2027, respectively. “Bon Air is selling because of the battery plant,” says Amy True, managing broker and owner of True Realty. “It’s just very convenient to what’s happening right now.”
Bon Air sits on the north side of Kokomo.
Bon Air home sales are being fueled by it's close proximity to the new battery plants.

Multiple ways to get around
The new battery plants – a joint venture between Stellantis (Chrysler) and Samsung – are directly across State Road 931 from Bon Air. The Kokomo City Trolley Yellow-Green Line runs along Morgan Street between Ivy Tech Community College and Downtown Kokomo on weekdays. Bike lanes along Morgan Street and Apperson Way help give the neighborhood a Bike Score of 60/100. Bicyclists also don’t have to venture far for a repair or a new ride at Victory Cycle, which has been a neighborhood landmark since 1940.
SR 931 runs along the border of Bon Air.
Bon Air is a bike ride away from many neighborhood features.

A Hollywood setting comes alive -- sort of
Kokomo’s cinematic claim to fame is as the home of a bar that plays “both kinds of music – country and western,” setting up a memorable fish-out-of-water scene in the comedy classic “The Blues Brothers.” A real-life version of that fictitious setting is here: The Kokomo Country Palace. Unlike the made-up Bob’s Country Bunker, there’s no need for chicken wire to protect bands from rowdy patrons – Kokomo Country Palace is a welcoming place featuring beginner’s line-dancing classes. Local dining options include Martino’s Italian Villa and Kokomo Fish Chicken and Gyros. A Save-A-Lot in the neighborhood is the largest grocery store on Kokomo’s North Side.
The Country Palace is the hot entertainment spot in the Bon Air area.

From pickleball to popping ollies
Bon Air Park provides another example of the neighborhood adapting to the times—the park is home to the Kokomo Parks and Recreation District Pickleball League. Bon Air Park is one of three Kokomo parks participating in the summer Recreation Adventure Program. Offered while school is out of session in June and July, the program features arts and crafts, games, sports and other supervised activities for Kokomo children. Nearby Northside Park is home to Hunger Skatepark, which is open to skateboarders, BMX riders and rollerbladers.
Bon Air Park features 4 pickle ball courts.
The Northside Pump Park is a popular summer hangout in Bon Air.

One-story midcentury homes
Most Bon Air houses are one-story cottages or bungalows built between 1940-60. “Houses in Bon Air are smaller and more affordable than some other parts of Kokomo,” says Cyndi Dieterman, agent with The Key Group. Some of those houses need repairs while others are ready for move-in. Sales in the neighborhood range from $30,000 to around $190,000.

The Kokomo Speedway is just a stones throw away from Bon Air.
Close to the thrills of Kokomo Speedway
Bon Air is just minutes from Kokomo Speedway, which has been part of Indiana’s fabled dirt-track racing scene since opening in 1947. Racing legends Mario Andretti, A.J. Foyt and Tony Stewart are among the competitors to race the quarter-mile clay oval. Racing season runs from April through October.
Tornado risk exists
Tornado season is always a time to pay attention in Kokomo – particularly in a neighborhood like Bon Air, where few houses have basements. Since 1951, 27 tornadoes have touched down in Howard County, including an F4 tornado in 1965 and EF3 tornadoes in 1998 and 2016.
