Proximity to State Road 931 a plus

Located in the southeastern part of the city near Kokomo’s retail district and largest employers, Terrace Meadows offers convenience with suburban-style comforts. “That’s a really popular area because of its location,” says Charise Goodnight, Realtor at RE/Max Realty One. “You have easy access on (State Road) 931. You're on the south side of Howard County, so you can zip down to Indy and Westfield. There’s quick access if you work at any of the plants. And it’s not far from the hospital.”

A wide variety of housing styles

Terrace Meadows offers a wider range of housing variety than many Kokomo neighborhoods. “It’s not one of those subdivisions where the builder had three plans and stamped them all out,” Goodnight says. “These are all custom-built homes.” Ranches and split-levels are the most common, particularly in parts of the neighborhood constructed between the 1950s-70s. Other parts of the neighborhood feature single-story brick condos. There are also one- and two-story contemporary custom houses over 2,000 square feet. Mid-century ranches and split levels can range from $150,000-275,000, while houses built more recently range from $250,000 to around $450,000.

American Legion Golf Course, Jackson Morrow Park nearby

Kokomo American Legion Golf Course, which is the city’s most inexpensive to play, is just outside the neighborhood. The unpretentious 18-hole par-70 is also the only American Legion-owned and operated golf course in the country. Jackson Morrow Park, about a mile southwest of Terrace Meadows, is the nearest park. The 100-acre park is home to the Kirkendall Interpretive Nature Center, which features exhibits highlighting native Indiana species. Morrow Park also has trails, a skatepark, sand volleyball courts, a regulation basketball court and a playground shaped like the outline of Indiana.

Neighborhood split between Taylor and Kokomo schools

Most students in Terrace Meadows live in the Taylor school district. They will attend Taylor Elementary, which is in the Indian Heights neighborhood and receives a C-rating on Niche.

High school sporting events a big draw

Whether it’s Kokomo High or Taylor High, high school sports are a big deal in Indiana – especially basketball. No matter the school size, packed gyms are the norm from November-March. Taylor, which has an enrollment of around 400 students, participates in sports in the Hoosier Heartland Conference and at the Class 2A level statewide. Kokomo is a member of the North Central Conference, facing similar-sized schools ranging across Indiana from Logansport to Richmond. The Wildcats play in Class 4A at the statewide level.

Easy access to many top Kokomo employers

Major Kokomo employers are clustered just north of Terrace Meadows – Chrysler's transmission plant, GM’s electronics plant, and BorgWarner’s technical center. Though it makes for a short commute, it also means the areas just north of the neighborhood have heavier semi-truck traffic than other parts of town. Community Howard Regional Health hospital is directly west of the neighborhood. And State Road 931 is a 30-mile trip to Indianapolis’ northern suburbs.

A noteworthy local tornado history

Tornado season is not to be taken lightly in Kokomo. Since 1951, 27 twisters have touched down in Howard County, including a Category F4 in 1965 that killed 17 people and left 560 injured after one of the nation’s most dangerous tornado outbreaks. The 1965 tornado cut through a portion of Terrace Meadows on its destructive path. Fortunately, it remains the last time a tornado caused fatalities in Kokomo.
