Markleville is a quiet, rural region near Anderson
Markleville is a quiet town surrounded by farmland, where properties can exceed 10 acres. “It’s a really family-friendly area,” says Charlotte Cotton, Realtor with Re/Max Real Estate Solutions, who has worked in Madison County for about 5 years. “Because it’s rural, the lots are bigger for kids to run around.” Residents spend most of their free time at the community park, church or the only restaurant in town. For anything else, they travel about 10 miles to Anderson.

Community park and Mounds State Park offer outdoor recreation
Markleville Community Park features a playground, basketball court, baseball field and covered picnic tables. During the holidays, the park is filled with Christmas-themed light displays. Mounds State Park gets its name from 10 earthworks made by the Adena-Hopewell tribe. “I like the walking paths there,” Cotton says. There are about 6 miles of hiking trails, ranging from easy to rugged terrain. People can also fish in the White River or go camping at the park. Residents can head into Anderson for an afternoon and visit the Anderson Museum of Art, where the permanent collection includes more than 650 pieces. During the fall, people can test their bravery at Indy Scream Park, which has six haunted houses and has been featured on USA Today.
This is still a kid favorite at Markleville Community Park.
