Whiteland offers a mostly residential destination near Indianapolis

Amid Central Indiana’s growth, Whiteland has emerged as a popular destination for those seeking a quieter community with convenient access to the amenities and jobs of the Indianapolis metro area. Commuters are just 20 miles from downtown Indianapolis via nearby Interstate 65, but they return home to a community that is growing but still retains a small-town feel. There is limited commercial build-up in Whiteland, which is anchored by a pair of community schools.

Housing caters to first-time homebuyers, those looking to downsize

While ranch-style homes on spacious lots are common among the established housing options, new home construction is prominent in Whiteland, whose population increased about 25 percent between 2020 and 2025. “It’s a great bedroom community for first-time homebuyers and those looking to downsize,” says Bobby LeMay of KW Commercial in neighboring Greenwood. “It’s very affordable living.” Briar Creek, developed by Ryan Homes, stands out among new additions. D.R. Horton has also been involved in the town’s development. As a result, the community offers an array of contemporary homes in walkable subdivision settings, some of which feature amenities such as playgrounds and walking trails. Newer offerings are a mix of HOA and non-HOA homes. In communities with HOAs, fees are typically under $50 per month. Prices typically range from the high $100,000s to the mid-$500,000s. Acreage homes and estates on the outskirts of town can list for more. A homeownership rate that exceeds 85 percent speaks to Whiteland’s residential appeal.

Elementary and high schools anchor the community

“They have a really good school system,” says LeMay of the Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation. Whiteland Elementary is one of the highest-rated schools in the district. Whiteland Community High is the district’s only high school, and its campus is being transformed by a $235 million, multiyear expansion project. The high school was used as an overnight shelter when an EF-3 tornado swept through Whiteland on March 31, 2023. “The community recovered very quickly,” LeMay says. The district also is home to the Central Nine Career Center, which has been providing job-specific training for high school students since 1972. Indiana’s open enrollment program allows students to apply for transfers to schools outside of their geographic zones. Out-of-district transfers typically depend on available space and can be revoked for attendance and behavior issues.

Logistics park along I-65, which connects Whiteland to Indianapolis

Many suburban Indianapolis communities are part of the region’s booming logistics and transportation industry, and Whiteland is one of them. Mohr Logistics Park is a highlight of commercial development along Interstate 65 on the west side of Whiteland. U.S. Route 31, which runs through the community, connects residents to the cities of Franklin and Greenwood. The drive to downtown Indianapolis during rush hour typically takes 35 to 45 minutes. “Everything is easily accessible,” LeMay says.

Go-karts are big in Whiteland

Whiteland Raceway Park is a well-known destination for go-kart racing. It has been part of the community since 1958. Go-kart racing is part of the activities at Rascal’s Fun Zone, a year-round amusement park that also offers mini-golf and arcade games. Traditional recreational spaces in neighboring communities include: New Whiteland ballfields, which host Whiteland youth softball and baseball leagues Proctor Park, a walkable green space in New Whiteland with a playground and a fishing pond Greenwood Community Center, which offers a fitness center and pickleball courts among its amenities

"Plenty of shopping and dining" in neighboring Greenwood and Franklin

There’s a Dollar General in town, and Friend’s Diner is a popular destination in a small strip mall. Luckily, you don’t have to go far for retail stores and restaurants. “You’re nestled between Greenwood and Franklin, and both have plenty of shopping and dining,” LeMay says. Kroger is within 2 miles in Greenwood, which is home to the Greenwood Park Mall. There’s a Walmart and a Meijer in Franklin.
