Access to work and shopping, without being the middle of the action
Tucked away in a corner of the city, Southeast Marion combines quiet suburban living with access to the city’s landmark university and one of its primary retail corridors outside of downtown. “Over here has more older residential neighborhoods and more rentals because of all the students,” says broker Sally Jenks with RE/MAX Regency Real Estate.
Western Avenue runs along the western side of the city, lined with supermarkets and restaurants that people from all over the city come to visit. Further, Indiana Wesleyan University is just minutes from homes, offering a quick commute for employees working at one of Grant County's largest employers. Though close to a fairly large college campus and a highway retail corridor, the neighborhood is remote enough to give residents a quiet place to rest.
Indiana Wesleyan University in Southeast Marion makes up a significant portion of the area.

Access to downtown Marion and Gas City and Jonesboro
Southeast Marion is just over 2.5 miles from downtown, linked by Lincoln Boulevard and Adams Street. 38th Street runs along the southern side of the neighborhood, connecting residents with the supermarkets and restaurants along Western Avenue. The Martion Transit System also operates one of its bus routes along the roadway. Adams Street eventually becomes state Route 15, which residents can take when heading to Jonesboro or Gas City, both about 4.5 miles south. Just over 3 miles north, Marion Health Family Medical Center is the city’s hospital, but members of the military can also head to Marion VA Medical Center, 1.5 miles south.

Grocery shopping along Western Avenue
While Southeast Marion has a Dollar General, residents can head to Western Avenue to stop in the Walmart Supercenter or Meijer for their weekly grocery shop, just 2 miles away. Horner’s Butcher Block is half a mile north. Western Avenue also features restaurants like Casa Brava Authentic Mexican Cuisine, a strip mall restaurant with bright yellow and orange walls. However, people on the southern side of Marion aren’t limited to just the city’s dining offerings. “It’s also closer to Gas City and Jonesboro, which are destination dining spots,” Jenks says. Gas City offers Pappies Smokehouse, a food truck turned restaurant with a mix of fishing gear and family pictures in wooden frames hung on the walls. Kammy’s Kafe in Jonesboro is an old-school diner where people go to catch up with their friends.

Celebrating James Dean in Fairmount
While not in Marion itself, locals across Grant County head over to Fairmount every September for the James Dean Festival. “The actor was raised in Fairmount,” Jenks says. “And that draws people from all over the country.” The weekend festival celebrates the actor with a vintage car show, lookalike contests and carnival rides. Marion’s Municipal Airport might not function as a commercial passenger airport, but it has hosted the annual Fly In, Cruise In for over 30 years each August. Starting with a pancake breakfast, the event invites locals out to see vintage cars, antique aircraft, firetrucks and other vehicles.
The Garfield Trail goes through Southeast Marion to find all the Garfield statue landmarks.
James Dean is a big deal in the Southeast Marion area.
