Lebanon is old farm community with new energy

Once a farm community, Lebanon has seen growth in recent years. “If you are looking to be on the North side of Indy and want great value for your dollar, Lebanon is the place to go,” says Susan Forrest, Realtor with United Real Estate Indianapolis. “You have all of the amenities of a suburb but with the feel of a smaller town.”

Local food options go from filet mignon to chicken and waffles

At the center of the community is the downtown square that surrounds the Boone County Courthouse. Memories are made here with great restaurants and community events. Right across the street from the courthouse is 1830 Chophouse. Specializing in fine-cut meats, their menu ranges from filet mignon to grilled chicken. The Grilled Hawaiian Huli Huli Chicken is a chicken breast marinated with huli huli marinade and topped off with pineapple salsa. There is the Sunday Brunch Buffet, where patrons can go all in on a plate of shrimp and grits or chicken and waffles. Their desserts include bread pudding or chocolate torte. A couple of blocks away is the casual Lebanon’s Westside Café. Locals rave about the breaded pork tenderloin sandwich for its crispiness and richly flavored pork. Stop in for any of their specials, which come with two sides of your choice. From Westside Café, head to Donaldson’s Finer Chocolates, which has been around since 1966 and has been a staple of the community ever since. With a recipe that includes pure cane sugar, there's a pick of truffles, barks and other chocolaty goodness.

Recreation amenities include water park, sports and golf

For recreation, there's Memorial Park. There is something for everyone in its 40 acres. Within Memorial is the Seashore Waterpark, which features fun water toys, slides and a giant bucket that drenches whoever walks underneath. In addition to a waterpark, there are eight pickleball courts, two basketball courts, a baseball facility and volleyball courts. The mile-plus walking path has a fitness station that allows for a full workout. At the private Ulen Country Club, players can enjoy the 18-hole golf course. When they are not working to get that hole-in-one, they can dine at the clubhouse for lunch or dinner. The recently built Big 4 Trail connects Lebanon to Thorntown, Whitestown and Zionsville, so adventure is always close by.
