ZOO - Indy 'Burbs
Hi All,
Might be relocating to Indy. Need fairly easy 30min. or less commute to zoo.
Also need:
NOT in city proper.
Home $200,000 or less....hoping for some space / 1 acre +
Family friendly / good public schools.
Canine friendly...for our non-roaming / non-noisy dogs.
Low crime / clean / nice community / small-townish.
ANY insight on suburbian areas which might fit the bill.
THANKS!!!!!!

I would recommend Danville. I lived & worked there for several years and enjoyed every minute of it.
How many bedrooms do you need? A quick search of Realtor dot com turns up over 200 listings in the Danville area 14 under 200k with 1 acre, 11 of which are single-family dwellings/non-mobile or modular.
4392 Gibbs Road, Danville, IN, 46122 - Single Family Home Real Estate - REALTOR.com® is the one closest to Indy distance wise. It's almost in Plainfield and would probably be alot faster access to the zoo on US 40. |

All of Hendricks County would be worth looking into. Danville, Plainfield, and Avon have great schools, family friendly communities, and low home prices. Rather than using realtor.com, I would use our local Indianapolis Metropolitan Board of Realtors site, MIBOR.com

Greenwood, IN is a great place to live. Greenwood is straight South of Indianapolis, they run together. Greenwood has fresh air, clean, safe streets, good schools and beautiful homes for under $200,000. Anything you could want can be found in Greenwood. It is a friendly community with easy access to Indy and the Zoo is only 20 minutes away up U.S. 31 or State Rd. 135. There are still a lot of open farm land and homes with acreage available. If you move to Greenwood, you will never want to leave.
