Possible relocation to Indianapolis (Greenwood, Plainfield: 2009, houses, transferring to)

[thefamilyman]

I'm in the airline industry and I may be transferring to Indianapolis Intl Airport within the next six months. I need some information (home cost and values, school districts, travel time to IND airport) and about the towns and small cities surrounding Indianapolis.

Thanks,
the family man

Near the Airport ... look up these towns:

Avon
Brownsburg
Plainfield
Greenwood/Camby (Center Grove schools)

I have a friend who recently moved to Whitestown - her husband works at the airport as a contractor. There isn't much in Whitestown yet, but it will probably grow. It is a 20 minute drive to the airport, with easy access to 1-65.

Have you made your move yet?

I am from Indy and can answer your question. Towns near the airport are the west side of Indianapolis, Speedway, Brownsburg, Avon. Plainfield is the closest. Greenwood, on the south side is not too bad, maybe 20-30 minutes.

Isn't Indianapolis building a new airport?

So will there be 2 airports, or are they going to close the old one when the new one is completed?

[domergurl]

They are building onto the current one.

the new airport is reportedly going to be much more secure than the existing one.
