Centrally located Emily Flynn offers walkability to dowtown and trails
The Marion neighborhood of Emily Flynn, located southwest of downtown, is close to some of the city’s more notable green spaces, including Hogin Park and the Cardinal Greenway, a multi-city walking and biking trail. "[Emily Flynn] is convenient because it's in the heart . . . so no matter where you go, you're equidistant from everything," says Cathy Hunnicutt, a broker with Re/Max Realty One. "But the walkway is probably the biggest draw because literally, it is right there."
Older but well-kept bungalows, Minimal Traditionals and Cape Cods
Smaller single-family homes dominate this area, many dating to the mid-20th century. They include bungalows, Minimal Traditionals and Cape Cods. "There are a lot of older homes in that neighborhood because it's close to downtown, and I say that with respect [because] they're well-kept homes," says Hunnicutt, who is a Grant County native. While streetscapes vary, many homes have grassy front yards, which are usually large enough for kids to play. Prices start around $50,000 for fixer-uppers and reach up to about $150,000. Also anchoring the area is Aperion Care Marion, a post-acute rehabilitation and long-term care facility across from the neighborhood green spaces.
Green space is easy to find at Cardinal Greenway and Hogin Park
The Cardinal Greenway is easily accessible for walking and biking. Indiana's longest rail-trail, it stretches 62 miles from Marion to Richmond on the state's far east side. Nine acres in Emily Flynn are are dedicated to Hogin Park, which has a walking path, skate park, bocce ball court and picnic tables with grills. It's poised for a major upgrade through the Marion Skate Park Project. The Clarence Faulkner Community Center hosts private and public events here, including an annual Thanksgiving turkey and ham giveaway.
