An idyllic smalltown suburb in the heart of Indiana
Zionsville may be Indiana’s last city alphabetically, but it is near the top of most lists of best places in the state to live. As measured by housing prices, Zionsville is No. 1 in the Indianapolis Metro area with a median home value near $650,000 – more than $100,000 higher than second-place Carmel and around $250,000 higher than the national median. It isn’t unusual to run into current or retired Indiana Pacers or Indianapolis Colts players around town, for quite a few call Zionsville home. Many of the city’s 31,000 other residents – more than double the population in 2010 – are drawn to the city by a combination of small-town charm and a convenient commute to Indianapolis. Though Zionsville is growing, it is still less than one-third the size of sprawling nearby suburbs Carmel and Fishers.

Main Street is the place to go shopping and dining
The city's historic downtown, visited by Abraham Lincoln on his 1861 train trip from Springfield, Illinois, to Washington, D.C., for the presidential inauguration, looks like something that could be found on the front of a postcard. “It’s very Hallmark-esque and charming. It has a quaint brick main street with small shops and restaurants,” says Kristen Cambridge, a real estate agent with @properties and Zionsville resident. “It feels less commercialized than the other towns around it.”
Main Street is the hub of commercial activity in Zionsville. The brick road has an eclectic mix of colorful buildings housing local shops and restaurants.
