Eastside Indianapolis, IN

A community all its own just 15 minutes from downtown Indianapolis

Accessible Commuter Peaceful

Situated just seven miles from downtown Indianapolis, Eastside sits between the Near East and Far East communities, just under Interstate 70. Low-lying apartment developments are tucked between single-family homes, giving the neighborhood its own unique suburban feel.

The wide, tree-lined streets of Eastside are home to well-known restaurants and popular big-box stores, with a few locally-owned operations peppered in too. The area has seen a lot of growth lately as development radiates out from the city center, bringing breweries and contemporary residential developments.

Windsor Village Park and the nearby Ellenberger Park make Eastside a popular locale for those looking to escape the concrete jungle nearby.
