Restaurants

-

Sahm's Place on Keystone Avenue is a well-liked neighborhood bar and restaurant, and Sully's Grill inside Sullivan Hardware & Garden makes for a memorable dining stop. Broad Ripple, just nearby, brings a wide-ranging restaurant scene, and Keystone at the Crossing adds more dining options a few miles up the road.

Transportation

-

Keystone Avenue connects directly to I-70 and I-65, putting downtown Indianapolis about 20 minutes away by car, with Carmel, Fishers, and Zionsville similarly close. IndyGo buses serve the area, though the neighborhood is car-dependent overall. The Nickel Plate Trail crossing at 62nd Street gives cyclists and walkers a direct link to the Monon Trail.

Parks

-

The Nickel Plate Trail's southern extension crosses 62nd Street through Glendale, connecting to the Monon Trail near the Indiana State Fairgrounds for miles of walking and biking. JTV Hill Park, University Park, and Douglass Park offer additional green space close by, and the Fairgrounds hosts the Indiana State Fair each summer.

Shopping

-

Glendale Town Center, anchored by Target, has shaped local retail since the late 1950s and continues to evolve. Glenlake Plaza covers everyday needs with a Kroger, and Sullivan Hardware & Garden stands out as a distinctive independent retailer. Keystone at the Crossing, five miles north, rounds things out with a fuller shopping and entertainment lineup.

Highlights

-

Glendale Town Center anchors the shopping scene in Glendale, but it also has the Nickel Plate and Monon connection that puts trails right outside your door and Broad Ripple and Keystone at the Crossing for additional dining and shopping.
