Eastside offers single-family homes on Muncie’s outskirts
Eastside is a laid-back community on the edge of Muncie. Bordered by the Muncie Bypass, the neighborhood is home to the Mayfield, Eastwood and Echo Heights housing additions. “There are a lot of single-family homes out there that are very well-priced, and that’s attractive to a lot of first-time home buyers,” says Rich Lee, an associate Realtor with Re/Max Real Estate. “But on the other hand, you also might find a more mature client looking at taking advantage of the price point on that side of town.”
Eastside is a small suburban community on the outskirts of Muncie.

Small cottages and ranch-style homes with room to breathe
Midcentury builds make up the majority of the neighborhood’s housing stock, although there are some homes built within the past 10 years. The bungalows, cottages and ranch-style homes tend to be smaller but sit on larger lots with room for sheds, above-ground pools and outdoor furniture. Mature trees dot the community, but Eastwood and Echo Heights are more wooded and secluded. Homes in these additions tend to have more space than Mayfield, too. Some homes have attached garages, but it’s more likely to see carports, detached garages and street parking. Fixer-uppers can range from $20,000 to $50,000. Move-in ready homes, some of which have been renovated, can cost between $60,000 and $160,000.
