Fortville Homes for Rent

Fortville, a small neighborhood with a population of 5,000, has evolved from a quiet town into a burgeoning bedroom community for the Indianapolis metropolitan area. Known for its walkable, historic downtown, Fortville boasts a variety of dining options, including the Broadway Diner, Denver’s Garage Pizza and Brews, FoxGardin Kitchen & Ale, and Taxman Fortville. Residents can enjoy a flight of homemade ice cream at Libby’s Ice Cream & Gifts after dining. The neighborhood has two parks: Memorial Park, featuring amenities like a skate park, baseball fields, and a dog park, and Landmark Park, which offers a gazebo and walking paths. Fortville hosts several annual events, such as Summerfest, Winterfest, and Kammy’s Kause fundraiser. The area is safer than the national average, providing a low crime risk environment. Fortville Elementary School and Mt. Vernon Middle School are highly rated, contributing to the neighborhood's appeal for families. Housing options range from mid-century ranches to new traditional mansions, with prices reflecting the area's growing popularity. While there is no public transportation, the downtown area is walkable, and residents typically drive to schools or nearby towns. Fortville is located about 25 miles northeast of Indianapolis and 37 miles from the Indianapolis International Airport. The ongoing reconstruction of Broadway Street has caused detours and impacted local businesses, but efforts are underway to support the community through a new social media campaign.
