Zionsville has sought-after homes and a charming downtown
Zionsville is a suburban community north of Indianapolis characterized by its sought-after homes. The town is also known for its highly rated school district and historic downtown. Zionsville, with a population that exceeds 30,000, has not grown at the rate of its suburban counterparts, Carmel and Fishers. That makes it a destination for those seeking a combination of modern amenities and small-town charm.

A high median price, but affordable compared to neighboring states
Zionsville’s median sales price in the high $600,000s is the highest in the region by a wide margin. The next closest, Carmel, is in the high $500,000s. Fishers and Westfield are in the $400,000s. However, Zionsville attracts buyers from other states, where property taxes are higher than in Indiana. “People who move here from Michigan and Illinois, they can come here and find a more affordable house,” says Gary Angstadt, a resident who works for Century 21 Scheetz. Angstadt adds that there is a constant comparison between Zionsville and neighboring Carmel, and when it comes to real estate, there is one big difference. “If you have one house in Zionsville, you have 10 in Carmel,” he says. “It’s harder to get into Zionsville because there are fewer homes on the market.”
Home prices in Zionsville typically range from the low $300,000s to over $3 million for custom-built estate homes. Housing options are diverse, ranging from 19th-century Craftsman bungalows in the heart of town to contemporary model homes in planned subdivisions. Colonial Revival-style and midcentury ranch-style homes are prominent on established and tree-shaded neighborhood streets. Zionsville is also home to Holliday Farms, an exclusive golf course community. Townhouses and condos offer multifamily alternatives, with prices typically ranging from the high $200,000s to the high $500,000s. On average, homes sell after 40 days on the market, which is about 15 days faster than the national average. HOA fees typically range between $20 and $170. That includes Holliday Farms, which generates most of its income from country club memberships.

"It is unquestionably one of the best school systems in the state"
Zionsville Community Schools consists of six elementary schools, two middle schools and Zionsville Community High. All of the schools are highly rated. “It is unquestionably one of the best school systems in the state,” Angstadt says. “That, of course, draws young families with kids.” Zionsville Community High offers a wide range of advanced placement and dual-credit courses, as well as extensive CTE opportunities through a partnership with the J Everett Light Career Center. Families must reside within district boundaries for their children to attend Zionsville schools.

Main Street is the historic heart of the community
Zionsville Village is the community’s bustling downtown district, which predates the Civil War. “Zionsville is a suburb, but it has its own identity,” Angstadt says. “It has a charm that is apparent when people drive down our Main Street.” The Friendly Tavern is the most notable destination along the brick-paved thoroughfare. “You have to be 18 to get in,” Angstadt says. “When you grow up in Zionsville … it’s a rite of passage to go there on your 18th birthday with your parents. It’s a big deal.” Other popular Main Street stops include:
The Scoop, a café and ice cream parlor in a historic house
Rush on Main, a family-owned eatery with a Chicago theme
Grapevine Cottage, a wine store that also sells gourmet food
Cobblestone, a casual American restaurant that hosts live music
Noah Grant's Grill House & Oyster Bar, which offers upscale dining
Downtown also hosts seasonal farmers markets, art walks and larger events such as the Zionsville Street Dance in the summer, a fall festival and the monthlong Christmas in the Village celebration. Kroger, Target and several chain restaurants are easily accessible along U.S. Highway 421.
Zionsville is known for the historic brick road on Main Street.

Convenient travel to Indy via I-465; Carmel is also easy to get to
Commuters have easy access to Interstates 65 and 465, both of which lead to downtown Indianapolis about 18 miles away. Taking the I-465 bypass is the easier route. Typical travel time during rush hour is 30-45 minutes. Commuters can also take 116th Street into Carmel, another regional employment center. “The convenience of the location is a big part of the draw,” Angstadt says. The Indianapolis Executive Airport, which offers private flights, is in Zionsville. Indianapolis International Airport is about a 20-mile drive via I-465.
Lions Park and the Big-4 Rail Trail are local favorites
Home to athletic fields and playgrounds, Lions Park downtown is the center of recreational activity. The park also hosts the town’s Fourth of July celebration, a signature event hosted by the Lions Club. The Big-4 Rail Trail, previously the Zionsville Rail Trail, is a paved path that connects outdoor enthusiasts to neighboring Whitestown. Holliday Farms, which opened in 2021, is home to private golf courses. The 18-hole layout and 9-hole layout were among the last to be designed by famed course architect Pete Dye.
The Big-4 Rail Trail is a 5-mile paved trail popular with joggers and walkers.
